Christian Worth

Christian ran in a one-month Special Election in December 2018, achieving over 40% of the vote—the best returns for a Democrat in over 15 years! Her progress in that short time inspired her to run again this year.

Christian graduated from the third class of women at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia and went on to start her own law practice at 27, building her career in Kentucky as a family lawyer. She returned to Lexington, Virginia in 2016 and has been a dedicated member of the Lexington-Rockbridge Democratic Committee, serving as a Get-Out-The-Vote leader during the past three elections. She serves on the board of CARE Rockbridge and United Way of Rockbridge and is an ever-present volunteer at local events and festivals. She believes in the power of community and that when we invest in rural Virginia we will all succeed!
