TRIANGLE, Va. — The day after early voting began in Virginia, Republican Yesli Vega gathered a crowd of about 150 people in an office building housing her campaign headquarters on Saturday morning to introduce herself to voters and ask for their support ahead of the November election.
Vega, who hopes to defeat Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger, told the friendly crowd about her background as a law enforcement officer and touched on the economy and immigration as she encouraged those in the crowd to vote and volunteer for her campaign as Election Day approaches.
Later that day, Spanberger, seeking a third term, touted Democrats’ recent legislative accomplishments at another friendly rally, this one with 125 people, in a parking lot in a county that is new to the district following a round of redistricting. Earlier, she had spoken to volunteers who would be knocking on doors for her campaign in Stafford County, another area that is new to the district.
