Trudy Berry, a candidate running for Virginia’s 9th Senate district, has a philosophy:
PEOPLE before Politics
PEOPLE before Party
PEOPLE FIRST
She really lives this in her life also. She is so supportive of...everyone.
x As we celebrate our country’s original freedom from oppression, we must be mindful of how our current levels of government are oppressing its citizens. Freedom must always be fought for. Keep fighting. Enjoy your day. Be safe. — Trudy Berry (@Berry4Senator) July 4, 2023
Her twitter and Facebook feeds are full of retweets about other candidates! I thought that was a defect at first before I realized it was a feature, a nice one.
x Just because it isn’t specified in the constitution doesn’t mean it is not a right. See 9A. It’s neither constitutional nor a right that taxpayers bail out Wall St. stockholders, bankers, and businesses. Who is going to file that lawsuit?

Trudy served in the U.S. Air Force after high school graduation, received an Administrative Specialist Course Honor Graduate certificate, worked as a Legal Services Specialist, and received an honorable discharge.
In the ‘you won’t believe it’ category, she was born and raised in Michigan just like me! Turns out we even went to the same high school! Unlike me, she went for 4 years, and was inducted into the Honor Society and received the John & Elizabeth Whitely Business Award for Outstanding Student. (I left the school halfway through the year and attended 2 other high schools before finally giving up on the whole thing up.)
Trudy went to Longwood University in Virginia, getting a BS in Sociology with a concentration in Criminal Justice. At the graduate level, she received a Certificate in Social Policy Administration. Doesn’t that seem perfect for a Senator?
x 🌙 While Muslims in the Commonwealth and around the world celebrate Eid-al-Adha, let's take a moment to reflect on the values of compassion and community. #eidaladha @VASenateDems pic.twitter.com/3wiOGnDaD6 — Trudy Berry (@Berry4Senator) June 28, 2023
Everyone deserves a job with fair wages, affordable healthcare and housing, a clean environment, protection from gun violence, and the ability to vote.
About her opponent she says:
The incumbent Senator has represented corporations and large donors for six terms (24 years). It is time to break the chain of corporate representation and to address constituent concerns.
She is the progressive voice that is perfect for this district. Let’s return her support with ours!
