As Virginia prepares for its historic gubernatorial election, voters across the Commonwealth are focusing on a range of issues that will influence their decisions at the polls.

Julie Bragg and Bill Fitzgerald spoke with voters in Powhatan and Hanover counties to understand what matters most to them as they prepare to cast their ballots.

"I'm very concerned about the right to work law. I think it's essential to the economy and workers' rights. It bothers me that it looks like it's trending toward making steps to change that," one Powhatan voter said.

Immigration policy also emerged as a significant concern for some voters.

"The whole issue of ICE, as I understand people that come to the country that are not documented, but there is a process, and I think by putting more effort into expanding that process would have created a better outcome," another Powhatan voter said.

Healthcare accessibility and public safety were additional priorities for voters in the county.
