DPVA Chairwoman: JD Vance's Extremism Isn't Welcome In Virginia

On July 22, 2024, Republican nominee for vice president JD Vance will hold a rally at Radford University in Radford, Virginia. DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker shared the following statement:

"As someone born and raised in Appalachia, I know two things about JD Vance: He forgot where he came from and he doesn’t care about working class people. Those of us who grew up in rural counties can forgive a lot of things like it says in the Good Book, but we can't forgive a sellout. We know he is nothing but a fraud and a con artist who supports Donald Trump’s extreme Project 2025 agenda to ban abortion, slash Social Security and Medicare, and raise prices for working families while giving tax cuts to billionaires. His extremism isn’t welcome here in Virginia, and we’re going to make sure to defeat him and Trump in November - just like we did last time. This election is a choice between a ticket led by Kamala Harris who is fighting for Virginians and Donald Trump who is fighting against us."
