2021 Virginia General Assemby Candidate Forum Series
The Arc of Northern Virginia and the Autism Society of Northern Virginia are proud to present this series of Candidate Forums in advance of the 2021 General Election. Election Day is Tuesday, November 2nd.
We are grateful to the candidates for making themselves available, and the campaign staffers who worked with us to make the often complicated arrangements. These meetings are rare opportunities to hear the candidates speak and to answer your questions about the future of disability services and supports in Virginia. We are excited to offer this opportunity for each candidate to speak about their beliefs, their plans for the future of our state, and their goals to help individuals with disabilities.

Thanks to all of the advocates and candidates who came to our Forum on September 27th. Unfortunately, after all the candidates gave an opening statement, Zoom shut down and we were not able to continue the forum. The ‘Watch Forum’ button below to view the partial recording. We’ve invited all of the candidates to send written or video statements if there are topics they wished to discuss that they were not able to share when the forum was cut short. We will continue to post those here.
