Joy for Virginia
Joy is the ONLY choice for 51
This race isn’t about party labels — it’s about who shows up to work and who doesn't.
Joy has released her HOME plan, knocked on hundreds of doors, held open public events and has shown how she will work for 51 and the families that call it home. Joy's opponent has taken the easy road. He has released no legislative plan for District 51. He passed no bills last year, and has declined interviews that would have given voters clear answers about his priorities. Last term in Richmond, he sided with corporate interests EVERY vote. Now with Dominion Energy, which as his largest campaign donor. He is obligated to vote for higher power bills and unregulated data centers.
Joy Powers was born here, raised here. Her opponent moved here from New York state and has spent his time working against our traditions, our schools and working families. As a farmer who's family has lived in District 51 for over two centuries, Joy will serve and protect our people and community - not corporate interest.
"I am proud to be the one candidate in this race that brings forward a clear, detailed plan to lower costs, protect our communities, and strengthen opportunity for the people who call District 51 home. I would be proud to earn your vote." - Joy Powers.
