State Democratic Party Chairwoman Susan Swecker is seeking another four-year term, having led the party through seven years of blue waves and a recent GOP resurgence.
led a Republican sweep of three statewide offices and helped the GOP flip control of the House of Delegates.
The party’s State Central Committee will elect a party chairperson for a four-year term at a virtual convention March 19.“We have made so much progress as a Party and Commonwealth over the last seven years, and now is the time to protect and build upon that progress,” Swecker said in a statement. “I look forward to speaking with Virginia Democrats in the coming month on my plans on how we will take a results-driven approach to build an even stronger Democratic Party for all Virginians.
Legislative leaders endorsing Swecker acknowledged those losses, while touting her as someone who can lead the charge against the new governor. “The successful organization Susan has built at the Democratic Party of Virginia demonstrates that she is the leader we need to stop Youngkin’s far-right agenda from rolling back the progress we have worked so hard for,” read a statement signed by Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw ; Sen. L. Louise Lucas , the chamber’s president pro tempore; Sen. Mamie E. Locke , the Senate Democratic Caucus chairwoman; House Minority Leader Eileen Filler-Corn ; Del. Charniele L.
“We need leadership who understand that in order for the Democratic of Party of Virginia to be treated credibly by voters, we have to make sure that our own processes are democratic,” said Stanfield, who contends the party has been too top-down. “It can’t be one person with a small clique around them making all the decisions.”Comment
