The 2025 Democratic Nominee for VA Governor should be either Luria,Spanberger,or Wexton.

Luria,Spanberger,and Wexton are female Democratic US Representatives from swing districts in VA. If they don’t win, they will remain in the US House of Representatives since the election for the US House of Representatives is not the same year as Virginia Governor.

They get elected VA Governor in 2025, They are unable to seek re-election 2029 so they have to leave the VA Governors office in 2030. Tim Kaine’s US Senate term is up in 2030 and Mark Warner’s term is up in 2032. Kaine or Warner could leave the US Senate after 3 or 4 terms.
