In her current capacity in Henrico County, Taylor worked with local legislators to pass a safe storage law after a young teen used an unsecured gun to shoot a 13-year-old girl on her way home from school—turning tragedy into tangible action.

“Shannon Taylor has dedicated her career to justice, accountability, and public service. Her commitment to protecting fundamental freedoms and ensuring government works for everyday people makes her a strong voice for Virginia families and a powerful advocate for democratic values.”

Rep. Rob Wittman has held VA-01 for nearly two decades. However, shifting demographics and a favorable environment for Democrats have put this race on the map. Shannon Taylor, the elected prosecutor in Henrico County, is the strongest challenger Wittman has faced in years and is well-positioned to win in this district that Governor Abigail Spanberger carried last year.
