How Close is this Race?
Clinton won District 32 by 19 percentage points in 2016 with a very strong Democratic showing! The incumbent Republican is a strong fiscal and social conservative who votes on the far right. He only won his last election by 1138 votes. It’s time to elect a Democrat who represents the views of the majority.

Why this Race Matters most:
It’s time to move forward with positive change: improve transportation for Northern Virginia, strengthen education, grow the economy with green energy jobs, expand Medicaid to bring federal dollars to Virginia, and support women’s reproductive rights. With a strong majority Democratic electorate, this race has a great chance of electing Democrat David Reid, as long as Democrats show up to the polls.
-
Why Democrat David Reid?
- David will focus on improving transportation for Northern Virginia with ideas such as common sense “distance-based” pricing for the Dulles Freeway.
- David will advocate for energy independence and protecting the environment and help create new, high-tech energy jobs.
- David will advocate for reassessing the funding formulas so Loudoun County gets back its fair share for our needs in transportation, education, and public safety. We send $1 to Richmond but only get back 30 cents.
-
Why NOT Republican Incumbent TAG Greason?
- Greason has consistently voted against Medicaid expansion. That means that VA has lost billions of dollars of federal funding and lost thousands of new jobs that would have been created.
- Greason has voted to make it more difficult for ordinary citizens to vote by increasing voting requirements and paperwork.
- Greason is endorsed by the NRA and votes for the positions favored by them.

Women’s rights and women’s health | David believes a woman has the right to make decisions about her health and body without interference from the state. | Greason has sponsored and supported many bills against women’s rights: (1) to limit a woman’s right to choose (2) to defund Planned Parenthood and (3) to prevent poor women from receiving federal money for some contraceptives. |
Preventable gun violence | David supports gun safety measures to include: universal background checks, mental health checks, and restrictions on convicted domestic abusers. | Greason has repeatedly voted against common sense gun safety bills. |
