Throughout the early years of the 20th century, Virginia was viewed
as a Republican state. Citizens in the Commonwealth had not voted
for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. In 2000, the
GOP had just won the governor's race, held both U.S. Senate seats,
and had majorities in both the House of Delegates and the State
Senate. By 2020, all of that had been reversed. During that period,
Democrats won four of five governors contests, elected two US
senators, and voted for Democratic presidential candidates in every
year since 2008. In 2019, the House of Delegates, where Republicans
maintained a 68-32 supermajority in 2011, flipped to Democratic
control. With it, the state became a Democratic trifecta, where the
party controlled all of the state's levers of power. Bellwether
tells the story of how this happened from someone who was "in the
room at the time." David Toscano began his service in the House in
2006 and became the Democratic Leader of the body in 2011. He
examines the special nature of Virginia politics, the demographic
changes that underpin much of its shifting political fortunes, and
the policies and personalities at the center of the state's
dynamics for the last two decades.
