Spanberger Kicks Off "Span Virginia Bus Tour" with Stops in Richmond, Petersburg, Dinwiddie, Brunswick, & Danville

DANVILLE, Va. — This weekend, Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger embarked on her “Span Virginia Bus Tour” — which will feature more than 40 stops across all 11 of Virginia’s congressional districts over the course of eight days — and made stops in Richmond, Petersburg, Dinwiddie County, Brunswick County, and Danville.

Spanberger was joined by Democratic ticket mates Senator Ghazala Hashmi and Delegate Jay Jones at stops in Richmond, Petersburg, Dinwiddie, and Brunswick.

“As Virginia’s next Governor, I will put Virginia and Virginians first,” said Spanberger during the tour. “That means lowering costs while lowering the temperature of our politics. That means bringing down the price of healthcare and prescription drugs. That means making buying a home more attainable for renters. That means defending Virginians’ reproductive freedom. That means making Virginia’s public schools the best in the country by attracting and retaining teachers and preparing the next generation of our workforce to be ready for tomorrow’s jobs. And that means always putting the safety and well being of Virginians first.”

“We’ve got so much work to do, and you have a team in front of you that’s ready to do that work. Virginia is going to keep its values. Virginia is going to keep moving forward,” said Hashmi. “The very first word of our beloved American Constitution begins with a word that defines our values — that word is ‘we,’ as in ‘We the People.’ And we the people are stronger together.”
