The Virginia Justice Democrats’ platform is to create a society that works for all people, not just for big corporate special interests. We hold our elected officials and those who are running for office to the standards of social, racial, economic and environmental justice and the bold, progressive solutions they require. Whether it be on the campaign trail or in office, Virginia Justice Democrats expect those in public office to fight for voters, not corporate donors.

In 2023, we are calling on all candidates to step up to the plate. For progressive candidates running for House of Delegates and State Senate we are asking that you join the fight by signing the Virginia Justice Democrats pledge below. Voters and constituents deserve to know that the candidates in their communities and eventually their elected leaders will both campaign on and champion legislation to bring about a more just society in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We want people in office who will both campaign on and champion legislation that follows our guiding principles to bring about a more just society in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

We call on those currently in and seeking those offices to commit to the following:

2023 VAJD Pledge Signers

Thank you to these candidates who have signed the VAJD Candidate Pledge. Don’t see your candidate? Send them our pledge and ask them to sign today!

Disclaimer: The candidates that sign onto this pledge are not officially endorsed by Virginia Justice Democrats. All candidates displayed here have signed the pledge and committed to all of the above tenets but any further views are not representative of the Virginia Justice Democrats. One or more of the candidates from each race may sign the pledge, but having only one candidate does not show favor for said candidate from Virginia Justice Democrats. Candidates that are considered for the pledge are anyone currently running for the Democratic nomination or endorsement. If a candidate breaches any of the tenets of the pledge, Virginia Justice Democrats reserve the right to remove them from our list of candidates and make their breach public. This pledge expires at the beginning of the next cycle or the candidate’s next race (whichever comes first).

Thank you to all the candidates that signed the VAJD Pledge in past elections.

VAJD asked all 2021 candidates to put voters ahead of corporate donors and commit to bold solutions in the fight for Social, Racial, Economic, & Environmental Justice. We’re grateful to these candidates who stepped up, ran clean campaigns, and fought for our Justice Platform.
