This is the first episode of Virginia Scope’s new project, the Virginia Political Podcast.
This podcast will be a weekly series that examines current events in Virginia politics, featuring interviews and analysis from across the spectrum.
In this episode, I talk to Rep. Abigail Spanberger about her decision to leave Congress and her campaign for governor. She contrasts a Spanberger administration with a Sears administration, she talks about how she would support getting Virginia back into RGGI, how she thinks Youngkin has done as governor in more.
I also talk to Randolph Macon College political science professor Richard Meagher about the state of the race in Virginia's Second and Seventh Congressional Districts.
