ETTRICK Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe s campaign announced Wednesday that the Democratic gubernatorial hopeful has picked up the endorsement of student leaders from historically black colleges and universities in Virginia including 18 from Virginia State University.
A statement from the campaign said the students opted to back McAuliffe because of his record on criminal justice reform, his bold plans to ensure all Virginia students receive equitable access to a world-class education, and his vision to create a more equitable commonwealth. They were among a list of young Black professionals pledging their support.
