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 finish our two-part series diving into the five Democratic candidates for governor: who are they, and what do they stand for? Jennifer McClellan is a State Senator who represents Virginia's 9th District; Justin Fairfax is the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia; Terry McAuliffe is the former governor of Virginia. We asked all three 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.
