With word that current 2nd House district Democratic candidate Rod Hall may be leaving the race, there has been talk about who could take his place.
Potomac Local reported earlier this weekend that Hall had been offered a new job, according to the Virginia House Democrats Caucus Director.
Last night, Republican primary candidates Mark Dudenhefer and Tim Ciampaglio faced off in an election to be their party’s nominee for the 2nd district. Dudenhefer came out the victor, and will now be the Republican candidate.
The incumbent for the seat, Delegate Michael Futrell, decided not to run for the seat earlier this year, and began his bid for the Democratic nomination for the 29th Senate district. Last night Futrell lost in the three-way primary election.
According to a statement issued by Futrell this afternoon, he was approached to consider running for his delegate seat, but he declined.
“While I appreciate the number of people who have reached out and encouraged me to run for re-election, I must decline.When I first announced my intentions to run for the Virginia House of Delegates, my goal was to impact the lives of people living in the Commonwealth for the better. That is still my goal and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to do just that in the House of Delegates. However, this journey is now taking me down a different path,” stated Futrell.
The Democratic Party will now have to identify and nominate a candidate for the 2nd district House race, when Hall officially ends his candidacy.
