With Virginia's elections approaching, candidates are campaigning. Virginia's off-year elections often predict the national midterms. A competitive district near Richmond could shift control of the House of Delegates.
The November elections include all House of Delegates seats and top state executive positions. In District 57, Republican David Owen faces Democrat May Nivar. The district is known for close races.
Owen won in 2023. In the 2024 presidential election, the district favored Kamala Harris. Nivar emphasizes quality education, teacher support, and has received endorsements from prominent Democrats.
Owen is also focused on education, highlighting his role in education funding and school safety. If reelected, Owen's top priority is eliminating the car tax. Nivar plans to promote jobs, increase wages, reduce red tape, and provide tax relief.
Nivar also prioritizes climate change and clean energy. A recent study suggests the Clean Economy Act could increase energy costs.

I bet the 'study' on energy costs is funded by the fossil fuel industry. Typical.

Red tape reduction is all well and good, but what specific regulations is she planning on removing?
