On November 8, 2024, Delegate Kannan Srinivasan announced support from Congressman-Elect Suhas Subramanyam and Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger for his candidacy for the Democratic nomination to fill the 32nd District State Senate seat left vacant by Suhas’ move to Congress. This endorsement comes after key backing from House Speaker Don Scott, Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell, and numerous Loudoun County Democratic leaders.
Given the swing of Loudoun County to the right in the Presidential election, state and local leaders are uniting behind Kannan, acknowledging him as the strongest candidate to win the district and safeguard the slim Democratic majority in the state Senate. Having secured over 60% of the vote in his previous two elections, Kannan is seen as the candidate who can effectively counter MAGA extremism in the Senate.
Congressman-Elect Suhas Subramanyam highlighted Kannan’s experience and effectiveness in the Legislature, saying, “Kannan is our best candidate to win this seat and continue advancing our Democratic values.” Subramanyam also praised Kannan’s work in protecting reproductive rights, advancing gun safety, and promoting job creation.
Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger also lent her support, emphasizing Kannan’s proven track record in business and public service, which she believes will bring results for Virginia families.
Delegate Kannan Srinivasan, a longtime Loudoun resident and the first Indian American to serve in the House of Delegates, has been a staunch advocate for reproductive rights, voting rights, healthcare, and gun violence prevention. His candidacy for the 32nd Senate District aims to preserve the Democratic majority and fight back against the resurgence of Trump-era policies. For more information, visit kannanforvirginia.com.
