I’m Susan Platt, former chief of staff to Joe Biden and Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.
For years, I worked only behind the scenes in politics and in business, but the election of Donald Trump was a turning point for me, and after joining millions of Americans at the Women's March, I knew it was time to take my own advice and run for office.
I’m the only Democratic woman in a statewide race in 2017, and I’m running for the highest office of any Democratic woman on the ballot this year. That’s a huge honor and a big responsibility.
Moreover, I could become the first woman to serve as governor or lieutenant governor in Virginia’s 228-year history.
I hope you’ll take a moment to watch my video and then donate to my campaign and help us make history in the Commonwealth.
