Rest in Peace Congressman McEachin (1961- 2022)

Our hearts are heavy tonight after we learned that Congressman Donald
McEachin has passed after losing his battle to colorectal cancer. We are
eternally grateful for the 26 years of service he dedicated to the people
of Virginia and the people of the United States of America.

Donald McEachin dedicated his life to service in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, having served in the Virginia House of Delegates, Virginia State
Senate, and finally the United States House of Representatives. He made
history as the third-ever Black Virginian to represent the Commonwealth in
Congress.

During his time in office, he was a relentless ally for racial, gender, and
LGBTQ+ equality as well as civil rights. He worked diligently to prevent
gun violence and protect our environment. Congressman McEachin worked up
until the very end as hard as he could to fight for his constituents and
for those who he did not represent in Congress. We thank him and his family
for the sacrifices they made, and our thoughts are with those who survive
him tonight.

“Our hearts go out to the McEachin family,” said VAYD President Denver
Supinger. “This is a great loss for the Commonwealth and the nation. May
he rest in peace.”

Rest in Peace, Congressman.
