Franklin, a Southwest Virginia native and former math teacher, previously served as Chief of Staff to a state delegate, focusing on microgrants for farmers, housing protections for domestic violence survivors, and clean drinking water laws. She ran on a platform that included affordable home ownership, education, economic growth, and expanding healthcare access.
