HAMPTON ROADS
The Biden-Harris campaign brought their message to Hampton Roads at a Black Voters Kick-Off Mixer hosted Saturday June 1 by the Greater Hampton Roads Black Democrats. Members of the Virginia Campaign Team were on hand to announce the launching of a field office to connect with Black voters in Hampton Roads.
The event highlighted local candidates running for offices in all of the seven city Hampton Roads region, as well as the re-election of Congressman Bobby Scott and Sen. Tim Kaine to the United States Congress.
Speaking for the Biden-Harris Virginia Team was Tonya James, who is directing state-wide efforts to impact Black voter turn-out in the Commonwealth on behalf of the national Biden-Harris Campaign. James stressed the importance of Virginia Black voters in preventing former President Donald Trump from reclaiming the White House, as Virginia is now considered by the campaign as a battleground state. Other prominent battle ground states are Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The Hampton Roads event was held at the Ordinaire Restaurant in downtown Norfolk and was part of a push by the national Biden-Harris Campaign to shore up engagement events to reach Black voters. These events will be held at churches, block parties, barber shops and hair salons. One of the chief issues the Biden-Harris campaign has identified is speaking to low-information voters.
