Richmond's democratic socialists are gaining political power

Richmond's democratic socialists are turning years of community organizing into election wins and political power. Why it matters: Candidates backed by the Richmond Democratic Socialists of America and its allies are defeating establishment-backed opponents, tapping into voter frustration with City Hall and gearing up to challenge more incumbents. Driving the news: Their latest victory came last week, when DSA-backed Jackie McDonnough defeated former Virginia Education Secretary Anne Holton for Richmond's 6th District School Board seat, despite being outraised more than 3-to-1. Holton raised roughly $110,000 to McDonnough's $32,500 and had endorsements from Gov. Spanberger, Mayor Avula, former Mayor Stoney and former 6th District School Board member Shonda Harris-Muhammed. McDonnough, a longtime educator, tells Axios she applied for the vacant School Board seat but was passed over in favor of Holton. Organizers with Richmond DSA and Richmond For All later encouraged her to run. Holton didn't respond to Axios' request for comment. How it happened: McDonnough's campaign says more than 150 volunteers knocked on 11,000 doors and made 6,000 calls. She tells Axios DSA members supplied most of her canvassers, alongside Richmond For All, the Crusade for Voters and educators' groups. Richmond DSA co-chair Elisabeth Waldron says volunteers were the chapter's

Goochland County’s proposed zoning amendments would make the Technology Overlay District the only area where future data centers could be located. Within the district, data centers could be approved by-right in the northern and central areas, without a separate public approval process.
