Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigiegwill join the party’s Virginia gubernatorial nominee, Abigail Spanberger, at a Get Out The Vote rally in Charlottesville on Tuesday.

But the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor acknowledges he and his running mate disagree on the issue of gay marriage.

Viewers in Charlottesville will only be able to watch the debate, and the WAVY-TV 10’s pre- and post-debate coverage, via the station’s website.

The nominees for governor and attorney general have scheduled debates, but, so far, Democrat Ghazala Hashmi has not accepted Republican John Reid’s challenge to meet on stage.

The debate will mark the first time Republican Jason Miyares and Democrat Jay Jones have shared a stage during the election cycle.

The latest poll for Virginia’s governor’s race has Democrat Abigail Spanberger leading Republican Winsome Earle-Sears by 10 points, and ticket-mates Ghazala Hashmi and Jay Jones also ahead, but it comes with a major caveat.

Republican gubernatorial nominee Winsome Earle-Sears is calling for Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for attorney general, to drop out of the race after the revelation of violent text messages he sent back in 2022.

Republican Scott Smith and Democrat Fred Missel shared a number of similarities in a Free Enterprise Forum event but also shared different experience on how to approach issues as potential Albemarle Samuel Miller District supervisors.

The latest poll tracking the Virginia governor’s race was released by Emerson College Polling/The Hill on Thursday and it shows Democratic nominee Abigail Spanberger with a 52-42% lead over Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, the current lieutenant governor.
