Susanna Gibson is an American nurse practitioner and progressive Democrat who ran for the Virginia House of Delegates’ 57th district in 2023. She served as the Lead Advanced Practice Provider for the VCU Division of Geriatrics before cofounding a medical home clinic for medically-complex patients, and she supported reproductive health, women’s rights, and LGBTQIA rights. The 2023 election saw Gibson compete against Republican candidate David Owen in a highly-competitive swing district in Henrico County, and she made abortion rights one of her main issues as several states across the country passed near-total abortion bans.
On 11 September 2023, the Associated Press revealed that Gibson and her husband had performed sexual acts in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific acts; Gibson called the exposure of the videos “the worst gutter politics,” saying that, “my political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up.”
