Karrie Delaney

Incumbent Delegate Karrie Delaney has represented the 67th District since 2018. The daughter of a U.S. Army veteran, Delaney earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of South Florida. She served on the West Melbourne City Council in Florida before moving to Northern Virginia. She works as the Communications Director of Shared Hope International, a non-profit dedicated to ending sex trafficking. She and her husband live in Fairfax where they are raising two children.

Delaney wants to boost working families so they can live with dignity in Virginia by supporting innovative economic development to create well-paid jobs. She voted to increase the minimum wage and give municipal workers collective bargaining rights. She supported keeping protections for tenants during the pandemic in place so that people have more rights to stay in their homes. She also voted for the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights, which extends standard labor protections to domestic workers and guarantees them a minimum wage.

As a member of a Parent Teacher Association, Delaney believes that strong, fully-funded schools are the backbone to thriving communities. She voted for a 5% teacher pay raise in 2021 along with additional funding to help school reopen safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. She advocates for reduced classroom sizes and full-day kindergarten to bolster students’ academic success. She also wants to provide the best resources, textbooks, and supplies to all classrooms in the district.

Delaney supports protecting the environment and sees the unique opportunity in using the Northern Virginia technology corridor to promote energy independence in the Commonwealth. She successfully sponsored legislation in 2020 to remove restrictions on the production of residential solar energy. She also voted for the Virginia Clean Economy Act the same year, which commits Virginia to 100% clean energy by 2050. She also advocated for Virginia’s entry into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in 2020, which combats climate change and reduces carbon emissions.

Delany believes in guaranteeing access to quality, affordable health insurance to all Virginians. She voted to expand Medicaid to nearly 750,000 Virginians in 2018 and supported establishing a state-run health insurance marketplace, which helps uninsured or underinsured residents who aren’t covered by an employer-provided health plan to get affordable coverage. She has worked to lower drug costs, voting to cap the price of insulin in 2020. She also supports abortion access and voted to repeal medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion providers.

Delaney is facing a challenge from Nhan Huynh a Republican, veteran, and first generation immigrant who earned a degree in engineering at Virginia Tech University. Huynh’s wants to increase funding for police officers with no accountability for police brutality. Huynh would support untrained parents making decisions about school curriculums rather than educational experts who have been the filed for years.

Due to her support of working families, public education, the environment, and access to affordable healthcare, Delaney is the most progressive candidate in this election.

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.
