“Working-class Virginians are hurting, and too many politicians in both parties in Washington have looked the other way,” Macy said. “Costs keep rising, healthcare is out of reach, and the powerful profit while working families struggle. I want to hear from every resident of the 6th District. What keeps you up at night, what do you want your member of Congress to focus on, how can our government work for you?”
Macy grew up poor in a small Ohio town, the first in her family to go to college, and built her life in Roanoke, where she and her husband, Tom, raised two kids on a reporter’s and a teacher’s salary. For 25 years at The Roanoke Times, Beth covered the stories of people and communities across western Virginia, listening without judgment and digging for the truth, even when it was uncomfortable.
Throughout her career, Macy has stood with outsiders and underdogs, and she has seen firsthand how the system has devolved to benefit billionaires over working families. She has listened to parents who lost children to addiction, workers whose jobs disappeared and communities forced to fight for basic services like child care, health care and mental health treatment. She has watched families across the 6th District work harder than ever, while falling further behind because the people in power have become more beholden to corporations than to the communities that elected them.
