Dear John,

 

Today, we are thrilled to announce our first candidate of 2023: Joshua Cole for Virginia State House District 65! This year, Democrats need just three seats to flip the entire House of Delegates blue. Joshua’s district is critical to ensuring that happens.

 

If you already know the importance of flipping the Virginia House of Delegates this year, help us kick off Joshua’s campaign with a donation of $20.23! Or, read on to learn more about this critical election.

MEET JOSHUA COLE

In 2019, Delegate Cole became both the youngest person and the first Black person elected to represent the Fredericksburg region in Virginia’s historic General Assembly-- Sister District was proud to support him! During his time in the House of Delegates, Joshua put his expertise as a college Academic Advisor and public school behavior aid to use, serving on the House Committee on Education.

 

Outside of politics, the Honorable Joshua Cole is a Pastor and serves as the Chairman of the House of Clergy for the Union of Charismatic Orthodox Churches. An avid Star Wars and Marvel fan, Joshua is a husband and father dedicated to making the Fredericksburg area better for working-class citizens, parents, and the next generation, as well as attracting more businesses to the community that pays their workers well. 

WHY THIS RACE IS IMPORTANT

In 2021, Democrats lost the majority in the House of Delegates by a total vote difference of 733 votes in the three closest districts. Now, we have a chance to flip it back to blue by picking up just three seats ― this district is critical to making that happen.
