Blakely Lockhart

Blakely Lockhart is a Democrat running for the 56th HD in Virginia.

Blakely recently graduated from Christopher Newport University with plans to become a physician, but put medical school on hold, because she saw a need for service in her community.

Blakely, on the issues:

➔ Healthcare +

"As someone with a pre-existing condition, I know the struggle of having to deal with our current healthcare system. ...I will work tirelessly to make sure that the people of this district have easy access to high quality healthcare at an affordable price."

➔ Education +

Supporting our public school students and teachers: Education is one of the best tools to invest in Virginia's future ...

➔ Human Rights +

"The news coming out of Atlanta is devastating. The Asian American community has been under attack throughout this pandemic, and made scapegoats for the pandemic by many politicians across America. We are unfortunately seeing their dangerous language translate into violence."

➔ VA Workers & Economy +

"Instead of supporting frontline workers and combating the pandemic, John McGuire was too busy trashing his fellow Republicans in a Congressional primary. ... This November, let's elect a candidate who can really represent our neighborhoods and fight for our future."

➔ Environment +

"We must continue keep our land, water, and air clean. We can do this while also growing our economy by investing in clean, renewable, and less expensive energy sources. "

➔ Criminal Justice Reform +

"I am a strong supporter of law enforcement and do NOT support defunding the police. ... I believe that we can work together as we continue to reform our criminal justice system in Virginia."

➔ Infrastructure +

"One of the fastest growing failures in our government is their inability to help all Virginians access high speed and high quality internet. ..."
