Virginia’s governor’s race is underway, and candidates are hitting the road. Democratic Congresswoman Abigale Spanberger visited the Northern Neck recently, stopping at the W.E. Kellum seafood operation in Weems. She met with watermen, oyster shuckers, processors and local business owners, stressing the importance of the seafood industry and protecting local jobs.
Spanberger and Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears have secured their party nominations. Voters head to the polls in November. Virginia’s race is widely viewed as a national bellwether, often reflecting broader voter sentiment.
