Former Virginia state delegate Joshua Cole announced his candidacy for Virginia’s newly created 65th District with a newly released video on Monday morning.
Citing rising wealth inequality, corporate profits and inflation, Cole talks about his past record of working to raise the minimum wage, make community college more accessible and address the region’s transportation and traffic issues.
Cole served as state delegate for Virginia’s 7th District from 2020-2022 before losing a tight election to Tara Durant.
The new 65th district includes the city of Fredericksburg in addition to parts of south Stafford and northern Spotsylvania counties.
