State Senate

Depending on where you live, you may have one of the below State Senate races on your ballot.

Senate District 035

Incumbent Democratic Senator Dave Marsden is a lifelong resident of Northern Virginia. Senator Marsden has lived in Burke since 1977 with his wife Julia and three sons. He graduated from W.T. Woodson High School in 1966, Randolph-Macon College in 1970, and began a career in juvenile justice as a probation officer with the Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. He went on to establish and operate Fairfax County’s shelter home for youth with severe family problems and was later appointed as the first Superintendent of Fairfax County’s Juvenile Detention Center. He served in the House of Delegates for four years before he was elected to the state Senate in 2009.
Senator Marsden has been a voice for reproductive health care access throughout his service. Most recently, he voted to repeal the abortion prohibition in Virginia health insurance plans and voted to establish the Reproductive Health Protection Act. In previous sessions, he voted against a measure to prohibit state funding of abortion services and voted to repeal the requirement for an ultrasound prior to an abortion, a bill he co-sponsored.

Senator Marsden has also been a reliable voice for civil rights and liberties. In 2020, he voted to prohibit No-knock Search Warrants. He also voted to repeal the State statutory same-sex marriage ban and amend state documents to include gender-neutral terms. Additionally, he voted to establish the Dress Code Equity Act, prohibit state funding of conversion therapy on minors, and amend the anti-discrimination law to include sexual orientation and gender identity, a measure he also co-sponsored.

Senator Marsden’s advocacy for civil liberties extends to criminal justice. In the most recent session, he voted to establish an independent policing auditor to oversee civilian law enforcement oversight groups. He voted against a measure to require school principals to report student misdemeanors to law enforcement, a measure supported by civil rights groups. He voted to expand voting rights of returning citizens. He also voted to require law enforcement officers to inform drivers why they are being stopped.

Senator Marsden has also supported measures to expand healthcare and make it more affordable throughout his career. In recent sessions, he voted to establish a COVID-19 Relief Fund. He also voted to limit the cost of Insulin to $50 per 30-day supply. Earlier in his career, he voted to require health insurance coverage for Autism Spectrum Disorder. He also voted to prohibit smoking in a vehicle with minors and in restaurants.

Senator Marsden is facing a challenge from Republican Mark Vafiades, a retired Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy. Vafiades uses dog-whistles to push his agenda, attacking civil rights movements and cozying up to hard-line Republicans. He attacks environmental regulations as radical special interests. He supports Republican efforts to police content in schools and calls measures for equity and respect defiance of parents.

Given his advocacy for civil liberties, reproductive justice, affordable healthcare, and criminal justice, Senator Marsden is the progressive choice in this race.

Senate District 036

Virginia’s new 36th State Senate district encompasses parts of Fairfax County. With over 151,000 registered voters, this district leans strongly Democratic.

This election will be held on November 7, 2023. Democratic candidate Stella Pekarsky and Republican candidate Julie Perry will face each other in the general election for Virginia’s new 36th State Senate district. Perry ran in the 2021 District 86 House of Delegates race, losing to Delegate Irene Shin.

Stella Pekarsky is a small business owner and teacher who graduated from George Mason University with a degree in Government & Politics and a Masters in Multicultural & Multilingual Education. Pekarsky has served as the Sully District representative on the Fairfax County School Board since 2020. She is a youth advocate who is leading the lawsuit against Glenn Youngkin’s attempt to steal local control from our schools. She is also a member of the NAACP Education Committee.

The central issue in Pekarsky’s campaign is education and public schools. She believes in investing in our students, teachers, and schools while creating a robust learning environment. She supports increasing teacher pay and has already allocated over $100 million in funding for teacher pay increases and school infrastructure upgrades in the 36th District during her time on the school board. Pekarsky also believes in funding early childhood education programs and supports expanding programs to serve all types of students and their learning needs. Pekarsky promises to stand up and fight against Governor Youngkin’s attacks on education.

Pekarsky supports abortion access and supports a constitutional amendment to the Virginia constitution to ensure all Virginians have access to abortion and reproductive health care. Pekarsky has been able to help expand access to menstrual products for people across Virginia by volunteering her time with Bringing Resources to Aid Women’s Shelters (BRAWS). Additionally, Perkarsky has worked to pass comprehensive sex education and Title IX instruction policies in her time on the Board.

Pekarsky believes that no one in our community should live in fear of gun violence. She supports commonsense gun violence prevention measures such as an assault weapons ban and a ban on high-capacity magazines as well as mandatory background checks for gun owners. Pekarsky also opposes allowing out-of-state concealed carry permit holders in Virginia if they are from states without proper gun law precautions such as universal background checks. As a member of the school board, she worked to close loopholes and ensure that guns never even make it to school property and expanded the gun violence prevention curriculum in our schools.

Pekarsky also wants to ensure we have a clean and healthy environment for the next generation. She has refused money from lobbyists like Dominion Power and would support a ban on all campaign contributions from state-regulated utilities. Pekarsky supports a transition to 100% renewable energy while also creating high-quality jobs and lower energy costs in the Commonwealth. While on the school board, Pekarsky supported the electrification of the FCPS school bus fleet and invested in new, energy-efficient school facilities.

Stella Pekarsky is running against Julie Perry.

Republican candidate Julie Perry does not support abortion access and would vote to ban abortion in Virginia. She would give police more funding, but less accountability for their actions. Perry’s tax plan would cut taxes for the richest among us while cutting funding for critical programs we all need.

Due to her views on reproductive rights, environmental rights, gun violence prevention, and her advocacy for investing in our teachers and schools, Stella Pekarsky is the progressive choice for this race.

Senate District 037

Virginia’s new 37th State Senate district encompasses parts of Fairfax County, Fairfax City, and Falls Church City. With almost 146,000 registered voters, this district leans strongly Democratic.

This election will be held on November 7, 2023. Democratic candidate Saddam Azlan Salim and Republican candidate Ken Reid will face each other in the general election for Virginia’s new 37th State Senate district. Reid previously served as the Leesburg District Loudoun County Supervisor.

Saddam Azlam Salim is a graduate of George Mason University where he received his Master’s in Public Administration with a concentration in public and non-profit finance and currently works as a Senior Consultant advising federal clients. Salim is also actively involved in several community organizations. He serves as second Vice Chair on the 8th Congressional District Democratic Committee, the Co-State Director for South Asians for America, and is a founding member of the API Caucus and the FCDC Black Caucus.

One of Salim’s priorities is reproductive rights. Salim pledges to ensure that people have access to reproductive health and education including “high quality and medically accurate sex education in our public schools.” Salim also understands the importance of having community resources and will fight to expand access to abortion in underserved communities. Additionally, Salim plans to bring down the maternal mortality rate by advocating for more resources for prenatal care, especially for people of color. Lastly, Salim has committed to making sure that accurate information regarding reproductive options are made available to patients and that no restrictions are placed on reproductive services or information.

Another issue in Salim’s campaign is LGBTQ+ rights. He promises to oppose all legislation that negatively targets LGBTQ+ communities. Once elected, Salim has plans to add legislation that protects the rights of LGBTQ+ people by adding Virginia to the list of states that include Rainbow Wall legislation. He also has plans to sponsor legislation that codifies the right to have gender affirming care and prohibits anti-trans legislation from other states. Salim promises to be an ally and fight alongside the LGBTQ+ community against all attacks.

This first time candidate also has a plan for climate action in the Commonwealth. Salim understands how crucial it is for Virginia to move towards clean energy. He plans to allow local governments to set energy codes in order to improve energy efficiency and aid in reaching 50% of the Virginia Clean Economy Act Goals.
Salim also supports the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). He promises to oppose any efforts by the Governor to pull out of RGGI and be an outspoken advocate of environmental policies.

Salim is a 2023 gun sense candidate and supports an assault weapons ban as well as legislation for mandatory waiting periods for firearm purchases. He also plans to support legislation that will restrict perpetual domestic abusers from making purchases. He pledges to support legislation that provides early prevention, investing in communities with higher gun violence rates and making sure that they have access to resources such as affordable housing, healthcare, and jobs, so that gun violence is less prevalent in their communities.

Salim’s opponent is Loudon County Supervisor, Republican Ken Reid, a former business owner and author. Reid obtained his M.A. University of Missouri School of Journalism from George Mason University along with an B.A. Rutgers in political science and Espanol. Reid builds his campaign off of his support for state income tax cuts as well as the removal of state interference in prescription medication and medical devices. Reid also shows strong support for the police department, believing that we should increase police funding despite clear and indisputable evidence that police are incapable of de escalating and stopping crime. He opposes environmental initiatives such as RGGI and allowing local government to set energy codes believing them to be “extremist environmental provisions.” Saddam Azlam Salim is the progressive choice for this race due to his advocacy for commonsense gun laws, his dedication to climate action, and his position to protect the LGBTQ+ community from growing attacks.
