VA-07: Pelosi backing Dorothy McAuliffe congressional bid in Virginia

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) endorsed former Virginia first lady Dorothy McAuliffe’s run for Congress in the state’s 7th Congressional District.

McAuliffe, the wife of former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) and a State Department official during the Biden administration, launched her campaign Wednesday.

”Dorothy McAuliffe has spent her life fighting for children and families and standing up for people who need someone in their corner,” Pelosi said in a release from Dorothy McAuliffe’s campaign. “From tackling childhood hunger to supporting military families and helping survivors of sexual violence find justice. Dorothy has never backed down from the fights that matter. I’m proud to endorse her for Congress.”

Dorothy McAuliffe said she was “deeply honored” to have the support of Pelosi, a two-time Speaker who is retiring from Congress in January.
