Meet Flo Ketner

Flourette “Flo” Ketner has been a Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates and the Virginia Senate. Flo has lived in the New River Valley for over 30 years and graduated from Floyd County High School. She then went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in English from Radford University. She lives in Christiansburg with her husband and three young children, currently works at a vet's office, and is gearing up to attend law school.

Flo’s many concerns for others started early in her life, while being raised in poverty by her disabled grandmother and having her mother lose her battle with drug abuse. Flo knows how important it is for all of our citizens to have secure housing, food on the table, and help when we need it, because this community is her heart and her home.

Flo’s determination for people of the New River Valley to have more than a strong voice in Richmond includes a strong presence of Virginia’s rural communities. Our communities deserve the same opportunities for advancement as the more urban areas of the Commonwealth. She is a strong advocate for better roads, last mile broadband connectivity, and easier access to quality healthcare. She will always stand up to corporate special interests such as the developers and strip mining companies that aim to destroy what makes the Blue Ridge Mountains the wonder that we live in. She will continue to be a powerful voice in addressing the epidemic of opioid and drug addiction, and urge our representatives to bring economic prosperity to Virginia’s citizens.
