Today we are spotlighting Michael Feggans’ candidacy for Virginia state House of Delegates, District 97. Though this district has voted Democratic in recent years by very slim margins, his Republican opponent won the election in 2021 by only 115 votes and is seeking reelection this year. This is a critically important race that could decide whether Democrats take back the majority in the House. This is exactly why Common Power coordinates and supports voter registration drives and canvassing throughout our priority states, including in Virginia.
Michael Feggans is 40 years old and grew up in Virginia Beach. Immediately after graduating high school he enlisted in the Air Force and served for 20 years before retiring. He was one of the first enlisted and active duty Congressional interns assigned to U.S. Senator Warner’s Norfolk office. Feggans’ earned a Bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration and a Master’s degree in Cyber Security from Virginia Tech and was selected to the University of Virginia’s political leadership program. He now works as a small business owner in the technology industry.
On his 18 month campaign trail, Feggan has committed to prioritizing reproductive freedom, funding schools and reducing gun violence for all Virginians. “At the end of the day, we’re going to have to move forward and work to make Virginia better.”, Feggans said. We at Common Power couldn't agree more. We are looking forward to supporting you in the general, Michael! Thank you for running - see you soon!
