Lt. Governor Haya Ayala

In representing Virginia's 51st District (Prince William County), Hala has made good on her campaign promises -- voting to expand Medicaid for 400,000 Virginians, raising teacher pay, passing the Equal Rights Amendment in VA, and expanding background checks to keep guns out of dangerous hands. For over 20 years she has worked as a cybersecurity specialist with the Department of Homeland Security. In 2017, Hala helped to organize the first Women's March in Washington, DC. The daughter of immigrants, Hala views the diversity of Virginians as an important asset in planning for the Commonwealth's future.
