Victoria Virasingh, 29, says Beyer can't share her perspective as a daughter of immigrants.
The restaurant had the feel of a polling place on Election Day. Royal blue signs reading “RE-ELECT BEYER,” the four-term Democrat representing Alexandria and Arlington, competed with others in teal bearing the name of a newcomer: Victoria Virasingh.
For Beyer, Virasingh’s spirited challenge has offered a chance to jump back into the campaign fray for the first time since he was elected in 2014, reflecting on his four terms as he makes the case to voters to let him continue. It’s “a wonderful way to make sure you haven’t lost touch. I’ve tried to stay engaged. But you get engaged in a different way when there’s a June 21 deadline,” Beyer said, noting the date of the Democratic primary.
She and Beyer do not disagree on much. Virasingh has applauded Beyer’s work. Their candidate forums become substantive policy discussions on issues about which both say they are passionate: wage inequality and labor rights, immigration reform, corporate responsibility and making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes.
