Former VA governor blasts Spanberger over redistricting debate refusal

Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) declined to debate former Gov. George Allen (R-VA) over Virginia Democrats’ redistricting push, leading Allen to publicly criticize Spanberger on Friday.

As the Old Dominion gets closer to its April 21 special election on whether to redistrict the commonwealth in favor of four more Democratic House seats, the state’s current governor has been at odds with former Republican governors who are against the move.
