Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic hopeful for governor of Virginia, brought her campaign to southern Virginia last week, making a stop in Martinsville on January 19. Spanberger addressed a crowd at the Virginia Museum of Natural History during an event organized by the Martinsville Henry County Democratic Committee.

Melody Cartwright made the introduction for Spanberger. “We need Abigail Spanberger for governor, to be the first female, and the best governor ever,” said Cartwright, who is running to represent Virginia’s 48th district. “We have a lot of nice things in our area – here at the Virginia Museum of Natural History and down the road we also have a world class art museum, Piedmont Arts. However, we also have around 25% of people living in poverty. I want to improve those stats."
