“I’m proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger to serve as the next Governor of Virginia. As Governor, I saw Abigail’s incredible commitment to the Seventh District of Virginia and Virginia as a whole. I saw an effective leader, and I saw someone who never stopped working to deliver results.

Abigail is also a very impressive listener. And because she truly listens to our neighbors, Abigail will remain focused on the issues that matter most — creating jobs, investing in our schools, lowering drug prices, protecting our natural resources, defending the rights of all Virginians, and returning Virginia to being the number-one state for business. I have no doubt that our Commonwealth will prosper under the steady leadership of Abigail Spanberger.”

“Last year, Virginians made history electing me as the first Black Speaker in our Commonwealth’s history. It’s time to make history again and elect Abigail Spanberger as our first woman Governor. Abigail Spanberger doesn’t wait for others to take the first step — she acts decisively and with purpose. That’s the leadership we need in Richmond as we fight to deliver for everyday Virginians.

As Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, I am proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger to serve as the next Governor of Virginia. In Congress, she has delivered tremendous results for ALL Virginians. From investing in our infrastructure to addressing the addiction crisis in our communities, Congresswoman Spanberger has delivered landmark legislation. That’s why I trust her as Governor to work with the General Assembly to strengthen our public schools, create an economy that works for Virginia’s working families, and protect Virginians’ reproductive freedom. Abigail Spanberger is going to win in November 2025 — and then, together we are going to move Virginia forward.”

“Abigail represents a bold, new generation of Democratic leaders. As Governor, Abigail will lead with her profound empathy and her contagious optimism. In Congress, I’ve watched Abigail address the most pressing issues of our time. When its passage was in doubt, Abigail pushed the bipartisan infrastructure law over the finish line — and now the people of Virginia are reaping the rewards.

Against all odds, she brought lawmakers of both parties together to pass landmark legislation to address climate change — no easy feat. And she has been on the foremost front lines of protecting our democracy as it remains under attack. I believe that Abigail has not only the experience, but the energy and enthusiasm required to move Virginia forward — and she has my strongest possible endorsement to serve as the next Governor of Virginia.”

“Abigail is a strong and compassionate leader, traits I’ve seen since we first hit the campaign trail together back in 2018. She cares deeply about the Virginians she serves — and when she sees a problem, she fixes it.

As a former state Senator and a current Member of Congress, I know that Abigail’s record of public service, her willingness to find common ground, and her lifelong commitment to our Commonwealth and our country make her the right choice to be Virginia’s next Governor. I’m proud to not only endorse her, but I’m also proud to know that Virginia will grow and succeed under her leadership in the coming years.”

“I enthusiastically endorse Abigail Spanberger — a true public servant, proud Virginian, and people’s champion — to serve as the next Governor of Virginia. As her colleague in Congress, I know that Abigail has neither wavered nor delayed in responding to Virginia’s needs. As our Governor, she will create new jobs, lower costs for Virginia families, prioritize our physical infrastructure, and stand with our region’s federal workforce.

And in this moment when our very democracy is under attack, Abigail will defend the dignity and rights of every Virginia citizen. I call on all Democrats in our Commonwealth to place their confidence in our next Governor, Abigail Spanberger.”

“Abigail Spanberger’s career embodies service — to our communities, our Commonwealth, and our country. Over the course of three terms, she epitomized what it means to lead with integrity and courage in the halls of Congress. She showed up everywhere; she listened to competing views to find common ground, even when it was hard; and she never forgot the people she was elected to serve: the people of Virginia. Across the Seventh District, I witnessed how she connects with everyday Virginians. Abigail’s determination and drive is what Virginia needs now more than ever. I know Abigail will be an outstanding Governor.”

“Abigail Spanberger brings a public service mindset to Congress every day, and she will bring this same approach to the Governor’s Mansion. She understands the challenges facing our Commonwealth — from the high cost of living to increased cybersecurity threats to job opportunities for the next generation. As our next Governor, Abigail will invest in our public schools and workforce training programs, lower costs for working families, and protect the fundamental rights of all Virginians. I know that she believes in the promise of Virginia, and I’m honored to endorse her.”

“Today, I am proud to endorse my friend Abigail Spanberger to serve as the next Governor of Virginia. Since we first campaigned together during the 2018 cycle, I have seen firsthand her unwavering commitment to public service and her deep love of Virginia.

Our Commonwealth is facing threats to our rights, and our country is facing threats to our democracy. Abigail is no stranger to these tough fights. As Governor, she will be a historic leader for Hampton Roads and the entire Commonwealth — and I am confident that she will strengthen our schools, stand with our veterans, and lower costs for Virginia families.”

“I’m fired up that we Virginians will have a chance to elect Abigail Spanberger as our next Governor! Abigail is a leader whose service record demonstrates her willingness to do what is difficult to put her community, Commonwealth, and country first.

She’s taken on the special interests to deliver cheaper prescription drugs, expanded broadband access, and made investments in green jobs. She’s been a bulwark for our fundamental freedoms while also building bridges to fight political corruption and attacks on our democracy. I proudly endorse Abigail to serve as our next Governor of Virginia.”

“Abigail Spanberger has represented Virginia honorably and with courage in Congress. She has earned my endorsement to serve as our next Governor of Virginia. I can think of no other Democrat who is more prepared for guiding our state into a new era of prosperity. I represented Southwest Virginia during many difficult times and during moments of great change, and Abigail is no stranger to these challenges.

She will lead our communities — including our rural areas — with her competence, her steady and thoughtful leadership, and her commitment to making the lives of all Virginians better, and I know that as Governor she will be responsive to the needs of Southwest Virginians.”

“It’s not often that you hear about a candidate for Governor who is a veteran of the CIA, especially a woman. I have been following Abigail Spanberger’s career for several years. I have admired her backbone — the key to integrity — tenaciousness, and the capacity to fight for what’s important. It is important to keep Virginians safe, prioritize our public schools, and to grow our economy from Patrick County — which I confess I’m partial to — to Page County to Portsmouth and everywhere in between. I am thrilled that Abigail has decided to run for Governor. She will be great, and the Commonwealth needs her.”

“As a former Attorney General of Virginia, I know that Abigail Spanberger has the experience and vision required to keep Virginians safe, protect Virginians’ rights, and build a stronger Commonwealth. She has a history of working with both parties to get things done — and that’s why I am proud to endorse Abigail to serve as Virginia’s next Governor. Her record of public service, her integrity, and her demonstrated commitment to Virginia families make her the right candidate at the right time to lead us forward”

“As a Virginian who served in the cabinets of our two previous Democratic Governors, I am proud to announce my endorsement of Abigail Spanberger to serve as our Commonwealth’s next Governor. She has the experience, the determination, and the deep sense of public service required to effectively get things done for Virginia. Abigail Spanberger will always put the safety, security, and prosperity of Virginia families first.”

“Abigail Spanberger is an experienced public servant who does everything possible to deliver results for Virginia — including for our communities of color. In Congress, she has been vocal about addressing Virginia’s high maternal mortality rate, particularly among Black women. Additionally, she has always voted to protect the right to vote — including through her support for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And as the only Virginian on the House Agriculture Committee, Abigail has championed increased funding for Virginia’s HBCUs — which have been underfunded for far too long. Her commitment to the health, education, and fundamental rights of our communities is why I am proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger to serve as Virginia’s next Governor.”

“Abigail Spanberger is the decisive public servant Virginia needs, and I’m proud to endorse her to serve as our 75th Governor. Under her leadership, the Commonwealth will have a Governor who actually works with our Democratic majority to get things done for the Virginians we serve. She will prioritize progress over the endless campaigning and partisanship that we see out of the Governor’s Mansion today. Abigail will join with General Assembly Democrats to focus on priorities that unite Virginians like closing the multi-billion dollar funding gap in public K-12 and higher education, protecting reproductive rights, preventing gun violence, and making Virginia more affordable for working families. With Abigail as Governor, I’m confident that we will see a stronger and safer Virginia.“

“Abigail Spanberger gets things done, and I’m proud to endorse her. She has never wavered in fighting for her principles, listening to the concerns of Virginians, and bringing both parties together to do what is best for the Commonwealth. That’s the leadership we need serving the people of Virginia in Richmond. Her focus on schools, safety, and more economic opportunity for all Virginians will make sure we are the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family.”
