Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger Announces 2025 Gubernatorial Run

Former CIA Officer and Three-Term Congresswoman to Focus on Lowering Prescription Drug Prices, Growing Middle Class, and Protecting Women's Rights

U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat from Virginia, has announced her candidacy for the state's gubernatorial race in 2025.
Spanberger, a former CIA officer, has served three terms in Congress and has been known as a bipartisan consensus builder.
She has pledged to work on lowering prescription drug prices, growing the middle class, easing inflation, and protecting women's reproductive rights.
Spanberger's decision not to seek reelection for her current seat in the U.S. House is expected to lead to a competitive Democratic primary.
Potential competitors for the gubernatorial race include Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney for the Democrats, and Attorney General Jason Miyares and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears for the Republicans.
