The rundown
I talked to former Democratic state Senate candidate Marques Jones and Democratic operative Nathan Kiker about Spanberger’s campaign in VA-07. You can hear the full conversation with the link at the top of this newsletter.
We talked about Spanberger’s efforts to campaign as a bipartisan in a new district that should be more friendly to Democrats than her former district.
We also talked about Democrats referring to all Republicans as extreme.
We talked about Republicans leaning on strategies this year that failed Virginia Democrats last year.
We talked about what Vega should have done better.
An interview with Spanberger from earlier this month is also included at the end of the podcast episode.
Amanda Chase (R-Chesterfield) responded to Monday’s reporting of Rep. Spanberger tying her opponent Yesli Vega to Chase’s proposal to ban abortion at conception.
