“I’m James Bergida—a lifelong Virginian, a Shenandoah-Valley-raised doer, a family guy from a family of overcomers, a man of faith, an educator who passionately holds that now is the time to invest in the Valley and Commonwealth’s future. I believe that Virginia and our Shenandoah Valley can continue to be the land of opportunity, a place where our people don’t just get by, but thrive. That’s why I’m running to represent our community in the Virginia Senate.”
