Virginia congresswoman Abigail Spanberger has announced she will run for governor in 2025 instead of seeking reelection to the U.S. House next year
U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger announced Monday she will run for Virginia governor in 2025 instead of seeking reelection to the U.S. House next year. Spanberger, a three-term Democrat, made the announcement in a campaign video, highlighting the importance of lowering prescription drug prices, growing the middle class and easing inflation.
Postal Service won her first congressional race in a district that had been held by Republicans for almost 50 years. The Commonwealth prohibits its governors from serving consecutive terms. That’s led to intense speculation about Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s next political move, as well as early jockeying in effective shadow campaigns for the chief executive's office.
