Virginia's gubernatorial race is just around the corner, taking place in November 2021. And with 13 candidates in the running--7 Republicans, 5 Democrats, and an independent--it's a crowded field. This week, we begin a two-part series diving into the five Democratic candidates for governor: who are they, and what do they stand for? Jennifer Carroll Foy is a former state delegate who represented Virginia's 2nd District; Lee Carter is a delegate representing Virginia's 50th District. We asked both candidates plainly about their campaign strategies and their policies to help working Virginians, including: What makes you the right person for the job? What are your top priorities to help working-class Virginians -- to get them a living wage and affordable healthcare? How do you plan to win the election and then get things done once in office? The Virginia Democratic primary takes place on Tuesday, June 8th, and early in-person and absentee voting start on April 24th.
