Former Governor of Virginia

“I am proud to support Levar Stoney to serve as Virginia’s next Lt. Governor. As the first Black Secretary of the Commonwealth and youngest elected Mayor in Richmond history, Levar is no stranger to rolling up his sleeves and tackling issues that help uplift all Virginians. With a deep understanding of all 133 of Virginia’s localities, Levar is the best candidate to hit the ground running as Lt. Governor to deliver on the values that make our Commonwealth the best place to live and raise a family."

Former First Lady of Virignia

"I am proud to support Levar Stoney for Lieutenant Governor because he has always been a steadfast ally in the fight for better opportunities for Virginia's families. As Virginia's First Lady, my proudest accomplishment was making significant progress toward ending childhood hunger in Virginia by expanding access to school meals in partnership with Levar and many others. We know that children can't be hungry to learn if they are just plain hungry. As Mayor, he increased funding for Richmond Public Schools by 58% because he is committed to ensuring every child in Richmond and Virginia has a fair shot at achieving their dreams.”

Former Virginia First Lady and Secretary of Education

“As fellow cabinet secretaries serving together in Governor McAuliffe's administration, I've seen firsthand Levar's commitment to bettering the lives of all Virginians. In the Cabinet, Levar was a champion for second chances, overseeing unprecedented increases in restoring voting rights of Virginians. Levar was a terrific partner to me in appointing strong public servants to Virginia's universities and other education boards. I am proud of the work Levar has done to help build a thriving Richmond, and now he'll take that same energy to serving all of Virginia as your next Lt. Governor.”

Virginia State Senator

“Central Virginia is strongest when Richmond is strongest. Over the last eight years, I’ve seen the city of Richmond blossom. Under Mayor Stoney’s leadership crime has fallen, poverty has fallen, and Richmond is a destination for people from across the Commonwealth and across the nation. I can’t wait to see Levar tackle the challenges facing our Commonwealth as we hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable for their dismantling of our government. We need energetic and experienced leadership to face this challenge, and I know Levar Stoney is the person to provide it. I am excited to endorse him to be Virginia next Lieutenant Governor.”

Governor Levar Stoney will work to ensure we have strong public schools and a vibrant economy that ensures everyone has a fair shot not just to get by, but to get ahead. I am excited to support him to be our next Lt. Governor.”

State Delegate- Delegate 81

“I’ve had a front row seat to Mayor Stoney’s leadership here in Richmond for the past eight years, and I can confidently say Richmond has changed for the better. With newly accredited schools, a 22% decrease in the poverty rate and violent crime, and the removal of Confederate monuments, Mayor Stoney tenure has left a lasting legacy.”
