The First Ask Congratulates Kacey Carnegie on Her Success in the 2025 General Election

Washington, DC – The First Ask endorsed candidate Kacey Carnegie has won the general election with 52% of the vote and flipped the seat. Kacey will now represent Virginia’s 89th district in the House of Delegates. 

Carnegie, a mother, local attorney, and community leader, is heavily involved in her community; leading two Girl Scout troops, serving as president of the dance moms, and holding various leadership roles in the Ruritan Club. Kacey’s priorities included building a community-first economy, ensuring safer communities, and investing in education for every child. 

Executive Director of The First Ask, Caroline Welles, has made the following statement regarding Carnegie’s victory:

“Congratulations to Kacey for her victory in the 2025 general election! Kacey had an amazing turnout in a competitive district, showing the power of authentic leadership and campaigning. Her experience as an attorney and years of community involvement has prepared her well to be a fierce advocate for her district. The First Ask is so proud of Kacey!”
