Women & Politics presents:

Women & Politics – The Election Series

Today is our last show of election coverage bringing in Princess Blanding, candidate for Governor and Marrena Davis, speaking on behalf of the Paul Davis campaign. 

Princess Blanding, an educator for over 13 years here in the Commonwealth and a grassroots activist, has a history of fighting to elevate the voices and concerns of every day, working-class Virginians and for increased accountability from our local and state elected officials to address the inequities in our Black and most marginalized communities.

As a single LGBTQIA+ mother based in the Middle Peninsula with roots in the rural working class, Princess’s connection to marginalized communities runs deep. Our campaign will prioritize the growing challenges of hard-working families in all regions of Virginia.  

A veteran educator and community activist, Princess’s expertise has been in-demand in the Virginia General Assembly. In 2020, Princess worked closely with prominent members of the Virginia State Senate and House of Delegates in proposing legislation that puts community care and safety first. 

Princess’s fearless advocacy has, and always will, prioritize the needs of everyday people.
