VA-01: Henrico County Prosecutor Shannon Taylor (D) Raises Nearly $350,000 in Just 3 Weeks

HENRICO, VA – Today, Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney and candidate for Congress Shannon Taylor announced raising nearly $350,000 in just 3 weeks since launching her campaign for Virginia’s 1st Congressional District. Shannon’s impressive fundraising haul cements her frontrunner status and demonstrates that she has the momentum and resources needed to prosecute the case against vulnerable Congressman Rob Wittman.

“This campaign is all about protecting and defending our community and it’s clear from the outpouring of support we’ve received that our message is resonating,” said Shannon Taylor. “Congressman Wittman has spent nearly two decades in Washington selling out our families at every turn. Under Wittman’s failed leadership, costs have gone up, health care clinics have shuttered, and working families struggle while billionaires get a tax cut. It’s time to try something new, and I’m ready to prosecute the case against Wittman and be a representative who actually puts us first.”

In addition to her strong fundraising total, Shannon entered the race with a powerful slate of endorsements, including from: U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, Former Governor Terry McAuliffe, Former Governor Ralph Northam, Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA-07), Rep. Don Beyer (VA-08), Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10), Former Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, Former Virginia Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, Senate Speaker Pro Tempore Louise Lucas, Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell, State Senator Aaron Rouse, State Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg, Former Speaker of the House of Delegates Eileen Filler-Corn, and other local elected leaders and sheriffs.
