May Nivar for Delegate Friendraiser @ Vienna; address provided upon RSVP

May Nivar for Delegate Friendraiser @ Vienna; address provided upon RSVP

Ahead of a critical and competitive race this year, please join us for a friendraiser event supporting May Nivar. Democrats currently hold a narrow majority in the Virginia House of Delegates, with only one seat separating control, and this seat could determine who holds power in the House.

This district’s incumbent Republican Delegate won by just 715 votes in 2023 — making him the most vulnerable Republican in Virginia this year. According to Blue Virginia’s 2025 Election Preview, “This seat is Democrats’ best opportunity at a flip…May Nivar seems the likely Democratic nominee, and she has a strong chance at flipping this suburban Richmond seat.”

May Nivar has been a fierce advocate for inclusion and opportunities that ensure all Virginians are seen, valued and respected. Now, as a Democratic candidate for Virginia House of Delegates, 57th District, May will defend our freedoms and make history as the first Chinese American in Virginia’s General Assembly.

Please RSVP to attend. Donations are encouraged but not required. Former Delegate Mark Keam is scheduled to give remarks.

* FCDC does not endorse during primary campaigns. Any Democratic candidate or candidate’s committee may add their Fairfax County events to the FCDC website calendar.
