Heather Michell is hoping the second time the charm, as the Republican makes her making a second run at the Virginia House of Delegates in a Special Election on January 5.
After current seatholder, Mitchell quickly became the GOP nominee, Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy (D) said she would resign from the position to focus full-time on her run for Virginia Governor in 2021.
Mitchell lost to Carroll Foy by more than 20 points in November 2019. Since then, things have changed, to include a global pandemic, and she’s now hoping to connect with voters during an abridged election season of less than a month.
We talked with Mitchell about her campaign in this edition of the Potomac Local Podcast.
