VA-GOV: Obama to campaign with Spanberger in Virginia
Former President Obama will campaign with Democratic Virginia gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger in Norfolk, Va., on Nov. 1, according to a Tuesday announcement from Spanberger’s campaign.
Obama last campaigned in Hampton Roads in 2012. His upcoming campaign stop with Spanberger will mark the first campaign visit of any Democratic president to the area in over 10 years.
he announcement comes less than a week after Obama cut two ads urging Virginia voters to back Spanberger in next month’s governor’s race.
“Virginia’s elections are some of the most important in the country this year,” Obama says in the ads.
