Democratic Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney says he's dropping his bid for Virginia governor in 2025 and will instead run for lieutenant governorFILE - Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, left, gestures as Richmond interim Police Chief Rick Edwards listens during a news conference in Richmond, Va, Wednesday, June 7, 2023. Democratic Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney announced Tuesday, April 23, 2024, that he is dropping his bid for Virginia governor in 2025 and will instead run for lieutenant governor.
When Stoney entered the gubernatorial race in December, it set up a Democratic nomination contest with U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer who has cultivated an identity as a bipartisan consensus builder over three terms in Congress. Stoney said it was not an easy decision. There was a path to victory in the gubernatorial race, but he said it was narrow and he believed running for lieutenant governor was the right path for him, his family, the Democratic party and Virginia’s future.
No Republicans have announced campaigns for governor yet, though state Attorney General Jason Miyares and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears are seen as likely contenders. Under state law, Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin cannot seek a second consecutive term.
