Keeping Virginia’s 2nd House district blue

For the first time in a long time, in the last election cycle, Virginia’s 2^nd House district went ‘blue’ for Michael Futrell, unseating incumbent Republican Mark Dudenhefer.

Dudenhefer is back, attempting to reclaim his former seat, after Futrell’s decision not to run for re-election.

We need to keep the 2^nd district blue, and we need to support Democratic candidate Josh King.

Josh King knows quite a bit about public service.

King is a U.S. Army Combat veteran that served two tours in Iraq, and currently serves Fairfax County as a Deputy Sheriff.

More on the reasons King is running, from a statement he sent us:

He is running because his oldest daughter and six other autistic students spent the past school year without a teacher. He volunteers his time to help his fellow veterans reintegrate and receive the benefits they have earned as the Peer Support Training Coordinator at the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office. Josh and his wife, Candi, are the proud parents of three children, Josclyn, Candis, and Joshua. They reside in the River Oaks Community in Woodbridge and attend Antioch Baptist Church.

The Prince William County Young Democrats did a Day of Action two weeks ago for King and other Democratic candidates, and we need to keep that momentum going and GOTV, so that voters show up to the polls on November 3^rd.

Republicans have the majority in the Virginia House of Delegates, and it’s races like this that can help elect key Democrats that can enact change on the state level, and eventually push us to a Democratic House majority.
