Victory for the people in Virginia! Our Revolution congratulates Delegate Joshua Cole on his re-election — a major win for grassroots progressives and working families across the Commonwealth.
✊ Why This Win Matters
Joshua Cole isn’t just a public servant — he’s a movement leader. Raised in Fredericksburg and serving as a pastor, Josh has always been rooted in his community, standing up for justice, equity, and opportunity for all.
As chair of the subcommittee on constitutional amendments, Josh championed a measure to enshrine reproductive freedom — including abortion, contraception, and prenatal care — in Virginia’s Constitution. This victory lays the foundation for a future ballot initiative to protect these rights statewide.
Josh has led the fight against corruption, authoring a bill banning the use of campaign funds for personal expenses — a key step in reducing corruption and restoring public trust in government.
First-Gen, Grassroots Power: From becoming one of the first Black delegates elected from the Fredericksburg region to winning re-election with a powerful grassroots mandate, Josh Cole embodies the people-powered leadership our movement fights for every day.
🌹 A Larger Fight, A Deeper Movement
Cole’s victory is more than one campaign — it’s part of a broader wave of progressive wins across Virginia, where organizers, voters, and everyday people are rising up to demand a government that works for the many, not the money.
With this win, Josh will continue fighting to defend democracy, protect workers, and advance racial and economic justice from the ground up. His leadership represents what Our Revolution was built for: bold, principled candidates who put people first and hold power accountable.
💪 When We Organize, We Win
Congratulations, Delegate Joshua Cole! This victory proves once again that grassroots organizing beats big money every time.
Our Revolution is proud to stand with Josh and all the movement leaders turning people power into policy. Now, we’re organizing to make sure these victories translate into real, lasting change for the people of Virginia and beyond.
