The November 2023 election is a huge opportunity to address our housing shortage and elect pro-housing candidates across Virginia. Our members have voted! YIMBY Action and our Virginia chapters are excited to announce our endorsement of the following pro-housing candidates.
Explanations for endorsements are below.
Virginia House of Delegates District 75
RVA YIMBY is pleased to announce our support for Carrie Coyner in Virginia's House of Delegates District 75.
Virginia Senate District 15
RVA YIMBY is pleased to announce our support for Ghazala Hashmi in Virginia's 15th Senate District. Ghazala Hashmi is a long-time supporter of improving access to housing, including for adults over 65 and giving localities greater flexibility in building affordable housing. Ghazala is passionate about creating more expansive zoning ordinances, including those for accessory dwelling units and townhomes, which are more accessible to younger renters and first-time homebuyers. We look forward to working with Senator Hashmi to make it easier to build housing of all kinds right here in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
