WASHINGTON, DC – Today, 21st Century Democrats, the nation’s top progressive PAC, announced its endorsement of Jody Wagner for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. In the past decade, Wagner has been instrumental in shaping the fiscal policies that have helped Virginia become one of the nation’s most financially successful states.
“21st Century Democrats is proud to endorse Jody Wagner for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia” said Jim Scheibel, 21st Century Democrats’ Board Chairman. “One of our core functions is to identify and support new, talented leaders within the Democratic Party. Jody’s fiscal policies have already benefitted all Virginians. Her commitment to bolster science and education and create green jobs will benefit Virginians for decades.”
Wagner, a small business owner and mother of four, has lived in Virginia for over 25 years. As Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Virginia under Governor Warner and then Secretary of Finance under Governor Kaine, Jody enacted the fiscal policies that have made Virginia the nation’s best managed state. Under her watch, Virginia was voted the best state for doing business. She will build upon this success by improving Virginia’s education system and making Virginia a leader in conservation and clean energy production.
For over 20 years, 21st Century Democrats has worked to build a broad network of progressive Democratic leaders who shape the direction of the Democratic Party. They develop leadership at every level— from training new generations of field organizers and campaign staff to helping progressive candidates win campaigns. In 2008, 65% of their supported candidates won election to state, local, and federal government.
