There’s a reason that Senator Deeds and Governor McAuliffe support Mayor Levar Stoney’s bid to be the next Governor of Virginia – he’s the most qualified candidate. His work speaks for itself. He championed public education in Richmond and increased funding by almost 50%. He worked tirelessly to get guns off the streets and out of the hands of criminals, bringing violent crime down by 22%. He brought huge investments to the City and fixed broken infrastructure. And as Secretary of the Commonwealth he was instrumental in restoring voting rights for hundreds of thousands of returning citizens.
