Rep.-elect Walkinshaw will soon become New Dems’ 116th Member, growing the Coalition to its largest Member count in history
Today, New Democrat Coalition Action Fund Chair Greg Stanton (AZ-04) issued a statement congratulating NewDem-endorsed candidate James Walkinshaw for his victory in the Special Election in Virginia’s 11th Congressional District.
“New Dems are excited to congratulate James Walkinshaw on his victory tonight. We were proud to endorse him due to his commitment to solving everyday problems for the Virginians he represents and making progress on issues that matter.” said New Dem Action Fund Chair Stanton. “Congressman-Elect Walkinshaw’s pragmatic approach to delivering results for his community will make him a valuable addition to the New Dem family and our ongoing work to advance real solutions in Congress. With the New Dems now standing at an all-time record 116 Members, we are powerfully positioned in the center of the party as we approach the 2026 midterms, where James will be a critical component of our effort to take back the House and return common sense governance to Congress.”
