Rod Hall – Democratic candidate for Virginia’s 2nd House district – is leaving the race.
The 2nd House district encompasses eastern Prince William and portions of Stafford County.
“It appears Rod Hall is leaving the race,” said Virginia House Democrats Caucus Director Trent Armitage.
Armitage stated that Hall was offered a new job, and that was the reason for the departure.
Additionally, Armitage stated that there was no final word on if Hall had accepted the offer, but that the caucus has reached out to several potential candidates to fill Hall’s place.
Justin Wilk, the Democratic-endorsed candidate for Prince William school board in the Potomac district, was one of the individuals approached to run for the seat.
“Although I am honored that the state considered me as a candidate, my full desire is to seek a seat on our school board and represent our students in Prince William County. My focus is on improving the quality of our schools, so that our students get the world-class education they deserve,” said Wilk.
Delegate Michael Futrell, the incumbent for the seat, is currently running in a three-way Democratic primary for Virginia’s 29th Senate district. When asked, Futrell stated that he had not thought about running for his current seat as of yet.
“I haven’t had a chance to talk to Rod yet…right now I’m totally focused on winning this [Senate] primary – which we feel we will do. So I fully expect to be the Democratic nominee. My mind wouldn’t let me adapt to any other thought at this moment,” Futrell said.
