Last night, the people of Virginia carved out a new historic path. We pointed our compass in a direction that guides us to the future while also building on the roots of our collective embrace of decency, dignity, and dedication.
Virginia has chosen leadership that lifts people up instead of tearing them down. Together, we have proven that — in Virginia — a child’s name, a family’s personal struggles, and a community’s identity are not barriers to belonging.
I am incredibly honored and humbled to be Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor–Elect. |
This victorious campaign was fueled by unprecedented grassroots support. And I can’t thank you enough for helping to deliver this victory.
This moment of success is not mine alone. It belongs to every Virginian who believes that our politics must be more hopeful, more inclusive, and more focused on solving problems instead of scoring points on the backs of others’ pain.
Thank you, Virginia, for the immense honor bestowed upon me to serve as your next Lieutenant Governor. Onward, Ghazala Hashmi Lieutenant Governor-elect, Virginia |
