Battleground Virginia: Ralph Northam

On March 27th, 2017, GU Politics welcomed Ralph Northam, the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, for a talk on his campaign to become to the next governor.

Ralph Northam, candidate for Governor, sat down with Georgetown students to answer questions and share his vision for Virginia. The first of a two-part series, the other event with Tom Perriello in March, this provided insider perspective on the gubernatorial race from primaries through Election Day. This event was co-sponsored by College Democrats.

Northam is a pediatric neurologist and achieved the rank of Major in the Army Medical Corps. He engaged with students and voters on his vision for the next four years in Virginia, building on momentum from his work and experience under current governor Terry McAuliffe.
