VA Senator Don McEachin announced his candidacy for the US 4th Congressional district today. He is currently the Senator for the 9th district of VA. A district that Dr. Ferguson Reid was instrumental in creating when he was elected as the first black man to the VA legislature and had a chance to draw districts that were fair to ALL the citizens of VA.
The current Congressman for the 4th district is not running and as of this moment no Republican has announced. Senator McEachin’s chances look pretty good no matter who runs against him.
Obama won this district by 60% in 2012 according to our own brilliant cartographer Steven Wolf.
So good luck Senator McEachin. Good luck to you, Virginia and the rest of us here in the United States.
