Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who is seeking his party’s nomination to a second term as Virginia’s chief executive, will meet with members of the Lake of the Woods Democratic Club on Wednesday, April 14.
The event will begin at 1 p.m. via the Zoom online meeting app and is part of a series of recent sessions with Democratic candidates for statewide office.
McAuliffe served as governor from 2014 to 2018. During his tenure in office, Virginia brought in more than $20 billion in new capital investment, $7 billion more than any previous governor. He participated in more than 35 trade and marketing missions to five continents to promote state tourism and other products.
Prior to being elected governor, McAuliffe served as chair of the Democratic National Committee. He was co-chair of President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, and 1997 presidential inauguration, and was chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.
A native of Syracuse, N.Y., McAuliffe attended Georgetown University’s Law School, where he earned the Juris Doctor degree.
McAuliffe is one of five candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for governor in the June 8 primary. The others are Lee Carter, Justin Fairfax, Jennifer Carroll Foy, and Jennifer McClennon. The General Election will be November 2.
