Sen. Warner, Rep. Jeffries lead rally to support Virginia redistricting referendum in Charlottesville

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Democratic elected officials participated in a Vote YES rally at Random Row Brewing Co. in Charlottesville, urging people to vote yes on the commonwealth’s April 21 redistricting referendum.

Among them was Virginia Sen. Mark Warner. His stop in Charlottesville was also part of a statewide re-election campaign. He put equal amounts of focus on both his re-election and the referendum.

“I’m a strong yes vote, but what’s different as well is though that, at least in Virginia, it’s not a bunch of politicians deciding, you guys decide,” Sen. Warner said.

Warner wasn’t the only person from the Senate to speak in Charlottesville. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made a surprise appearance and spoke at the event
