Governor McAuliffe has been nominated for a 2017 StateScoop 50 Award in the category of Golden Gov: State Executive Leader of the Year.

I have a real good feeling about this election day, but we win only we all vote, and vote all the way down the ticket, including for AG candidate Mark Herring and our local House of Delegates candidates.
