By: Victor Greene

Richmond, VA – Freedom Virginia congratulated seven endorsed candidates on their primary wins, including former Delegate Jay Jones, who secured the Democratic nomination for Attorney General.

Victorious House of Delegates candidates include Patrick Hope (HD-1), May Nivar (HD-57), Leslie Mehta (HD-73), Lindsey Dougherty (HD-75), Delores McQuinn (HD-81), and Kacey Carnegie (HD-89).

In a statement, Freedom Virginia co-Executive Directors Rhena Hicks and Ryan O’Toole said:

“We congratulate these candidates on their victories and look forward to working with them to win in November. Virginians are tired of a system that puts special interests over working families. They’re demanding bold leadership that will make everyday life more affordable.”

“Each of these candidates has proven they’ll stand up for Virginians by fighting for lower costs on essentials like medicine, housing, and groceries. They’ll advocate for guaranteed paid leave and a tax system that puts the middle class first—not the wealthy elite. Voters want stability, not chaos, and this slate reflects that urgency.”
