'Virginia Value Pack' candidates push fundraising, say Democratic party needs to invest more in them
Virginia’s Democrats have touted the fact that they are running candidates in all 100 House of Delegates seats, but the party isn’t always putting its money where its mouth is, some candidates say.
The Democratic National Committee, typically focused on D.C. politics, has expanded its efforts to boost parties at the state level. Chair Ken Martin announced earlier this year that the DNC would disburse $17,500 per month to Virginia’s state Democratic Party. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee recently pumped another $1.5 million into Virginia’s races, as part of a seven figure investment.
“The role of political parties is to build infrastructure everywhere,” Martin said earlier this year.
But not every candidate running for Virginia’s House of Delegates this year has directly benefited so far.
