Kimberly Pope Adams
Virginia House of Delegates | District 82
2025 WIN
Kimberly Pope Adams is a lifelong Virginian, born and raised in Hopewell’s Five Forks area. The youngest of three daughters, she grew up in a hardworking family—her father was a union worker at a local chemical plant and her mother was a dedicated crossing guard. As a latchkey kid at just seven years old, she understood early on the challenges working families face. With determination and perseverance, Kimberly earned scholarships to attend Virginia Tech, where she developed a passion for financial accountability. She has since built a career as an accountant and auditor, ensuring transparency in state government. Her deep connection to the traditions and culture of the Tri-Cities fuels her passion for service, and that love for her community is the cornerstone of why she’s running to serve the 82nd District.
Lindsey Dougherty
Virginia House of Delegates | District 75
2025 WIN
Lindsey Dougherty is a longtime public servant who brings lived experience to the challenges facing Virginia families. A mother of two children with complex medical needs, she has navigated a broken health care system and survived a life-threatening pregnancy thanks to urgent, compassionate care. Lindsey believes no politician should interfere in private medical decisions. After nearly a decade in Virginia, she’s rooted in the 75th District and committed to building safe, healthy communities. Having faced the same struggles as her neighbors, Lindsey will be a strong voice for working families in the House of Delegates.
Jessica Anderson
Virginia House of Delegates | District 71
2025 WIN
Jessica Anderson is a lifelong Virginian, mother of three, and public school employee who knows the struggles families face in the 71st District because she’s lived them. Raised in Newport News and now rooted in Williamsburg, she’s relied on programs like EBT and FAMIS during tough times—shaping her belief in strong safety nets. Jessica is committed to boosting economic security, affordable health care, quality public education, and housing access. She supports reproductive freedom, family care policies, gun safety reforms, and environmental stewardship to build a stronger, more resilient future for all. She’ll bring real-life experience to Richmond.
