Planned Parenthood applauded Aird’s focus on abortion rights in her race. “Aird was unapologetically pro-abortion rights and campaigned on stopping Gov. Youngkin from enacting an abortion ban in Virginia,” Jamie Lockhart, executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, said in a statement. “The voters of SD-13 were loud and clear: They demand to be represented by an outspoken advocate for reproductive rights.
Now, Aird will face Republican Eric Ditri in the November general election. Because of the district’s makeup, her victory is expected, but stranger things have happened than a Democrat losing. If Aird wins in November, it will mean Democrats can keep Virginia as a Southern state that supports abortion access.
