Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, Va.
With the entire General Assembly in Virginia up for re-election, control of the State Senate hangs in the balance. Just two seats would give Democrats control from the governor’s mansion to the legislature, but turnout is a perennial issue for the commonwealth’s off-year elections. And in other local contests, the Alexandria mayor’s race comes down to a challenger and an incumbent who lost his party’s primary and is running a write-in campaign. We explore these and other outcomes in our region’s races.
Guests
- Allison Silberberg Mayor Elect, Alexandria (D-Va.)
- Tucker Martin Independent political consultant; Advisor for Strategy and Communication, America Leads Super PAC; former Director of Communications for Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell
- Kristen Amundson Former Member, Virginia House of Delegates (D-44th District, Fairfax); Executive Director, National Association of State Boards of Education
