Our Revolution Arlington (ORA) hereby announces that its members have voted to enthusiastically endorse Karishma Mehta in her Democratic primary challenge against Delegate Alfonso Lopez in the 49th District for the Virginia House of Delegates. As a strong supporter of a Green New Deal for Virginia, single-payer healthcare, slashing police budgets and re-investing those resources into securing people’s basic needs, repealing Virginia’s so-called “right-to-work” law, a Virginia Homes Guarantee, and protecting both our documented and undocumented immigrant communities from intimidation at the hands of employers and law enforcement (to name only some of her transformative policy proposals), we firmly believe that Karishma best represents ORA’s values and hopes for a better, more equitable Commonwealth, and we hope to get to vote for her again in the November general election.
-Our Revolution Arlington steering committee, on behalf of the general membership
