Who’s on the Ballot in November
This year is a pivotal moment for Virginia’s future. With key statewide races and every seat in the House of Delegates on the ballot this November, the decisions we make now will shape our communities for years to come.
We have a major opportunity to:
- Flip critical districts that could shift the balance of power
- Protect and expand our Democratic majority in the House of Delegates
- Block extremist agendas that threaten reproductive rights, voting access, public education, and environmental protections
- Advance real progress on issues that matter to Clarke County and all Virginians—like affordable healthcare, gun safety, rural infrastructure, and climate resilience
What’s at stake? Everything from your right to vote freely to your freedom to make personal healthcare decisions, from public school funding to protecting workers and unions, is on the line.
The stakes couldn’t be higher—and every vote, every volunteer, and every dollar matters. Whether you knock doors, make calls, chip in a few dollars, or simply talk to friends about the importance of this election, your involvement is essential.
Now is the time to stand up, speak out, and show up for Virginia.

Candidate for House of Delegates (House District 31)
Shane Boswell
Shane Boswell, a resident of Berryville and a Navy veteran, is running for Delegate in Virginia’s 31st District.
“I’ve made a career out of fixing things that are broken,” Boswell said during a recent interview at the Royal Examiner studio. “We’re broken at the national level, but even at the state level, we’re struggling to have real conversations.”
Boswell, who’s running as a Democrat, hopes to represent the people of Clarke, Warren, and parts of Frederick counties, including Stephens City. He’s challenging current Delegate Delores Oates and says the difference between them comes down to visibility and involvement.
