Virginia Gubernatorial Race Update | McGuireWoods Consulting

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog: The Virginia gubernatorial election will be held on November 2, 2021. The Virginia Constitution does not allow an incumbent governor to serve consecutive terms, so a new governor is elected every four years. On May 8, 2021, Virginia Republicans nominated their candidates for statewide office via a novel “Unassembled Convention” in which nearly 30,000 delegates voted at one of 39 sites across Virginia. Glenn Youngkin emerged from a field of seven candidates to win the nomination for governor with 55 percent of the vote. Youngkin retired last year as the CEO of The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s leading investment firms, after 25 years with the company. A newcomer to running for public office, Youngkin has centered his campaign thus far on bolstering workforce education, job creation and public safety.

Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities – Encyclopedia Virginia

SUMMARY Organized in 1889, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA), currently known as APVA/Preservation Virginia, was the nation’s first statewide historic preservation organization. Spearheaded by an elite mix of female antiquarians and their “gentlemen advisers,” it became a sanctioned instrument of conservatives who strove to counter social and political changes after the American Civil War (1861–1865) by emphasizing southern history and tradition. The APVA enshrined old buildings, graveyards, and historical sites many of which were forlorn, if not forgotten and exhibited them as symbols of Virginia’s identity. As the national preservation movement evolved, the APVA became less overtly political and now identifies itself as a professional organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the Commonwealth’s heritage.
