By the time you read this, Democrat Abigail Spanberger will be rolling somewhere between Martinsville, Wytheville, Blacksburg and Roanoke on her eight-day bus tour. Alas, that’s as far west as her bus tour goes, so that makes this a good time to remind her, and readers, about the list of 25 places in Southwest Virginia that candidates should see because they all might help inform future policy choices.

Virginia voters made lots of history in Tuesday’s primary election, setting up a general election campaign with lots of “firsts.” For a long time, one writer after another has proclaimed a “New Dominion” in the “Old Dominion.” That is now quite apparent in Tuesday’s primary victories by Ghazala Hashmi and Jay Jones in the statewide Democratic primaries for lieutenant governor and attorney general, respectively.
