VAYD Northern Region Gubernatorial Forum: Featuring fmr. Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy [[link removed]]
Join us virtually on Thursday, February 25th at 5pm for VAYD's virtual forum with former Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy. This meeting is designed for both newcomers and VAYD members in mind. Non-members are welcome! Carroll Foy represented Virginia’s 2nd House of Delegates district from 2018 to 2020, until she resigned to focus on her gubernatorial campaign. If elected, she would be the first female Governor of Virginia and the first African American female governor elected in the United States. You'll have an opportunity to hear Carroll Foy speak on her plan, experience, and background. There will also be an opportunity to ask your own questions at the end of the event. This conversation promises to be a good one, but space is limited. Sign up now to reserve your spot!
