FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today’s the day Virginia! Make your voice heard and #vote!

We're so thrilled that Virginia's Connie Britton helped out candidate @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social, running for House of Delegates in Southwest Virginia. We’ve been running this spot in District 41 ahead of the election and wanted to be sure we shared on social media as well.

This campaign isn’t about politics — it’s about people. No one knows more about people power than @iamwesmoore.bsky.social. It was an honor to have you here in Blacksburg. Let’s go win this thing!

Join Gov. Wes Moore and Lily Franklin to Get Out the Vote in Blacksburg! · Spanberger for Governor 📢Join Maryland Governor Wes Moore and HD-41 candidate Lily Franklin in Blacksburg for a gameday rally to Get Out the Vote for Abigail Spanberger, Lily, and Democrats up and down the ballot on the last...

Big News! Gov. Wes Moore is coming to Blacksburg. With less than a week until Election Day, we’re fired up and ready to go. Don’t miss out on this rally and hope to see you there! www.mobilize.us/spanbergerfo...

You can vote TOMORROW in Blacksburg 9am-5pm at the Community Center (725 Patrick Henry Dr). And from 12-5 you can stop by shelter 1 in the Municipal Park right next to the Community Center with your “I Voted” sticker where we’ll have free food, music and games. Make your voice heard and VOTE!

Folks don’t want their elected officials to be bought and paid for by big energy companies.
People want a leader who knows their struggles and always puts them first. Wanna share how high energy bills are impacting you and learn what we can do about it? www.cleanvirginia.org/act/town-hal...

My opponent just revealed he’s taken tens of thousands of dollars from utility companies—while those companies are raising our rates. Politicians should be accountable to their voters, not big corporations.

Students deserve a leader who listens. Tuesday I’m hosting a student town hall so you can share what matters to you. RSVP and submit your questions by scanning the QR code, and I’ll see you Tuesday!

73 new voters registered, dozens of amazing conversations with students, and many free t-shirts later—Gobblerfest 2025 is in the books! Thanks to everyone who came over and said hi. Tech is fired up and ready for November!!!

Welcome back Hokies! Team Lily is on campus helping students register to vote at their current address. Need to register or re-register? Come find us or go to LilyForDelegate.com/students to make sure you’re registered for the Election this November!

Meet the candidate: Lily Franklin Democratic House of Delegates candidate Lily Franklin is challenging incumbent Republican Del. Chris Obenshain in the 41st District.

"I have five generations of my family here, and I understand what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet and how it matters whether or not your electric bill is $5 more, $5 less. That that can be the difference between making ends meet for the month." virginiaindependentnews.com/elections/ho...

In 2023, @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social‬ came close to flipping this seat—and now she’s back to finish the job.

Her opponent voted against protecting abortion access in Virginia. We’re endorsing Lily because she’s the reproductive freedom champion we need in Richmond.

The VPFF does incredible work to champion our firefighters. It's an honor to have their support, and I'm looking forward to working with them and their members to ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to continue protecting our communities.

Thank you to everyone who donated to help folks affected by the Russell county floods, but we can’t rely on donations alone. As a legislator, one of my top priorities will be to ensure SWVA gets the funding it needs to fully fund disaster relief and resiliency efforts.

13 injured as flash flood prompts evacuations in Russell County; local emergency declared A donation center for relief supplies has been set up at the St. Paul Town Hall.

Our hearts go out to those impacted by the flash flood in Russell County.

My Blacksburg office will be collecting supplies for the relief efforts.

Please see this article for a list of the supplies needed.

As Sen. Tim Kaine said “All eyes are on Virginia.” And in 41, it’s not just our neighbors counting on us—it’s folks across the commonwealth. Thanks to the volunteers who are with us every weekend, and those who joined us for the first time today! We’re going to win because of YOU!

Virginia Democrats are eyeing 13 potential seats that could flip blue this year Democrats are targeting more than a dozen Republican-held seats in the Virginia House of Delegates this year.

"But she does seem like the type of candidate who would put in the legwork, knock on doors, make as many calls as she has to." www.wvtf.org/news/2025-07... And don't worry, I am doing the work. Wanna join? We'll be knocking with Sen. Tim Kaine this Saturday. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Letter: Vote Franklin for reproductive rights Letter: Vote Franklin for reproductive rights

Students are some of the most engaged and thoughtful advocates for the issues that matter to them. As Evelyn said, "We cannot trust that the federal government will protect such rights, so we have to demand that protection from our state legislators." roanoke.com/opinion/lett...

Letter: Lily Franklin the right choice for 41st District Public education is a key to Southwest Virginia’s economic future. By supporting outstanding public education, we assure that young people and adults have the skills and knowledge to be successful

“If we want to prioritize public education, Lily Franklin is the right choice.”

This letter says it clearly: our kids deserve better—and I’m running to make sure they get it. Strong schools, good jobs, and a future built right here at home.
