Race snapshot
Gallaway has been the chair of the Albemarle County School Board. District 25 incumbent Creigh Deeds endorsed Gallaway, citing "his passion for education and his deep knowledge and understanding of many of the issues facing our school system."[4] Gallaway also received the endorsement of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Democrats of Virginia.[5]
Reeves, the owner of an insurance agency, received the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Businesses.[5]
The candidates appeared at an October 15 candidate forum in Culpeper, video of which can be seen here. Reeves declined to participate in a debate that would have been sponsored by the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, prompting Gallaway to accuse the incumbent of being "more interested in his own political future rather than the future of Virginians."
