Election Day is November 8, 2022

The Arc of Northern Virginia and the Autism Society of Northern Virginia are proud to once again present this series of Candidate Forums in advance of the 2022 General Election.

We are grateful to the candidates and their campaign staff for their availability and cooperation. These forums provide the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates and for them to answer your questions about the future of services and supports for individuals with disabilities in Virginia. You will have a chance to hear the candidates seeking your vote discuss their beliefs, their plans our state, and their goals for supporting constituents with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This is an exciting opportunity for you to effect real change in policy for the disability community in Virginia.
