The 2026
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.
Join us for a
virtual forum and hear directly from
candidates for U.S. Senate about the issues that matter to Virginia’s disability community.
- Protecting Medicaid and Disability Rights
- Employment Opportunities
- Inclusive and Affordable Housing
- Voting Rights and Accessibility
...and more
