Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney shifts from 2025 Virginia governor race to lieutenant governor run.
Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney has dropped out of the 2025 Virginia governor race and will instead run for lieutenant governor. Stoney, a former member of ex-Gov. Terry McAuliffe's administration and a two-term mayor of the capital city, said he had wrestled with the decision since he and his wife welcomed their first child in March. While his campaign had sought to make the case in a memo just weeks ago that a Stoney-Spanberger primary would be competitive, he said Tuesday that "while there was a path to victory it was a narrow path."
