What’s at Stake in Virginia with State Delegate Danica Roem & Dawn Adams
In 2018, she was part of the bipartisan coalition that voted to expand Medicaid to what is now 538,000 Virginia adults – and climbing. That same year, she earned the Prince William Times “Readers Choice” award for “Best Local Politician” as well as the Washington Blade’s “Readers Choice” award for Local Hero.
During her two terms in office, the governor of Virginia has signed 23 of Delegate Roem’s bills into law, including eight to prevent school meal debt shaming and three to protect LGBTQ Virginians. Her top priorities including fixing Route 28, raising teacher pay and making Virginia a more inclusive commonwealth.
Delegate Dawn M. Adams is a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner with nearly thirty-five years of diverse clinical and administrative health care experience. Dawn was first elected to the House of Delegates in 2017. She is the first (and only) openly lesbian legislator and openly LGBT representative from outside of Northern Virginia in the Commonwealth’s 400 year history. Her legislative focus is Healthcare, particularly around issues affecting elderly and vulnerable populations, and creating solutions to increase access and drive down the cost of care.
