Metro Weekly about her decision to run.“Given my track record of winning three elections, including flipping the seat of the self-described ‘chief homophobe’ who had been in office for 13 terms, or 26 years, I know how to win very competitive, very hard fought races,” she adds, referring to her 2017 unseating of longtime Del. Bob Marshall, whose name remains enshrined in Virginia’s constitution as the co-author of a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage.“At the same time, my record on constituent service is strong,” Roem says.
