VA-LG: Buttigieg endorses Levar Stoney (D) for Virginia lieutenant governor
Pete Buttigieg is endorsing former Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney (D) on Monday in the race for Virginia lieutenant governor ahead of the June 17 Democratic primary.
“As a mayor, I know leadership starts on the ground—and no one understands that better than @PeteButtigieg. I’m proud to have his endorsement in our campaign for Lieutenant Governor,” Stoney said in a post on X.
“Mayors know how to lead—and it’s time to bring that experience statewide,” he added.
Six Democratic candidates are running to be Virginia’s No. 2 official: local labor leader and former Labor Department economist Alex Bastani; state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi; Prince William County School Board chair Dr. Babur Lateef; state Sen. Aaron Rouse; Georgetown University Law Center professor Victor Salgado; and Stoney.
