“For years, Elizabeth Guzman has sought to elevate the voice of the immigrant community statewide, spearheading legislative campaigns that center the needs of Virginia’s diverse communities. As a Delegate, she has successfully supported various bills, such as healthcare expansions, paid sick days, more school counselors, and the removal of Virginia’s ban on collective bargaining in the public sector. These are just a few of the reasons that CASA in Action is proud to support her candidacy.”
