Hi, my name is Maria Reynoso and I'm the Founder and Executive Director of We Vote VA!
 
I’ve lived in Virginia since I was two years old and consider myself a life-long Virginian. I graduated from community college and university in Virginia, receiving my Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and History in 2019. 
 
I started We Vote VA because when I first wanted to learn about local issues, it was pretty confusing and I wanted to help other people who felt the same way I did but still wanted to become a more informed citizen. So I came up with the idea to make a resource page with clear information to make it easy for anyone to learn more about local politics, elections, and so much more - which inspired the creation of We Vote VA! Since launching our Instagram page in 2020, it’s thrived and quickly gained a loyal following.
 
Additionally, I have a great advisory team of close peers and colleagues from all political standings to make sure that every post is accurate and unbiased.
 
Founding this organization has been incredibly rewarding and I have loved learning more about our community. Thank you all so much for your support and we look forward to continuing this work!
 
Maria
Founder and Executive Director, We Vote VA
