Former Congresswoman Leslie Byrne — the first woman to represent Virginia in Congress — officially endorsed Ghazala Hashmi’s campaign for Lt. Governor last week. |
This endorsement further proves that Ghazala’s campaign is picking up momentum at the most opportune time. It comes on the heels of a major endorsement from EMILY’s List and Indian American Impact, as well as a huge victory at a recent candidate forum (she won with the support of 75% of the forum’s attendees). |
In her endorsement, Byrne emphasized Hashmi’s experience and motivation for public service in her endorsement.
“As a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates and the first woman to represent Virginia in Congress, I have had the opportunity to meet many candidates and elected officials. I speak from experience when I say that Ghazala is in this for the right reasons — to bring progressive change and to help Virginia families thrive. I am confident Ghazala will always stand up for what’s right, and that is why I am so excited to support her candidacy,” stated former Congresswoman Leslie Byrne.
If you agree with Congresswoman Byrne that Ghazala is the right woman for the job, please pitch in to her campaign for VA Lt. Governor today. Thanks for your support,
Team Hashmi for VA |
