Who should the Democrats in VA nominate in the 2025 Governors Race?

US Representatives
Scott(VA-3)
Connolly(VA-11)
Beyer(VA-8)
McEachin(VA-4)
Wexton(VA-10)
Luria(VA-2)
Spanberger(VA-7)

I believe that Wexton,Luria,and Spanberger are perfect candidate due to the fact that they represent battleground congressional districts and they will be the 1st female Governors of VA.

Beyer-D and McEachin-D have ran for and previously held statewide office in VA.
Beyer-D was Lt Governor from 1990-1998. Lost the 1997 VA Governors Race by a 13 percent margin.
McEachin-D was the the Democratic nominee for Attorney General in 2001 and lost by a 20 percent margin.

2025 VA Democratic Ticket should be
Governor(Wexton-D,Luria-D,or Spanberger-D)
Lt Governor(Ayala-D or Rasoul-D)
Attorney General(Jay Jones-D) who will be the 1st Black AG of VA.

Even could be McCauliffe again. He keeps the bucks flowing in and it’ll be 4 years later. A lifetime.

Wexton,Luria,and Spanberger got elected to the US House in 2018 by unseating Republican incumbents.
I expect Wexton to get re-elected easily in 2022 and 2024. Wexton is a strong candidate for statewide office assuming she runs a decent campaign.
