The 2025
Statewide Candidate Forum
with the Disability Community
We recognize that collectively, our disability community has the power to effect meaningful change and influence lawmakers and elected leaders in building a more inclusive and accessible future for Virginia.
In the 2022 mid-term elections, disabled Virginians voted at the same rate as non-disabled Virginians (53.2%).
The disability community has power - Let's use it together.
Please join us for a Virtual Forum as we hear from candidates running for the offices of Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General. Candidates will discuss their past work on issues important to the disability community, as well as:
- Protecting Medicaid
- Employment Opportunities
- Inclusive and Affordable Housing
- Voting Rights and Accessibility
...and more
September 15, 2025, from 6:00-7:30 PM
