Interview with Hashmi
State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, is running for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor.
I talked to her Monday about her priorities, why she believes she is the best Democrat for the job, what she has learned during her time in the General Assembly, how her life experiences have helped her become the legislator she is today, what she thinks of the current lieutenant governor Winsome Sears and more.
Listen to the interview above or read her answers, which have been slightly edited for editorial purposes, below.
