The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Washington and Washington Jewish Week produced a Virginia General Election Jewish Voters’ Guide for the 2025 statewide races. This publication provides information about the candidates running for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General. Each candidate was asked to identify the top issues facing Virginians and to address the surge in antisemitism across the Commonwealth. Their responses can be at washingtonjewishweek.org.
Jewish News is reprinting excerpts from the Guide with the assistance of United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s Jewish Community Relations Council, which champions a thriving Jewish community locally, in Israel, and around the world and leverages the strength of the diverse and vibrant Jewish community to promote a just and democratic society by leading, convening, educating, and advocating. The JCRC, therefore, works to ensure that all voters are well informed and have all pertinent details when choosing a candidate.
For comprehensive information about the upcoming elections, including how and where to cast ballots, visit the Virginia Department of Elections website. Register to vote or apply for an absentee ballot online using the Citizen Portal.
