Virginia democrats now have their ticket set for upcoming fall election.
After the results of yesterday’s primary elections, Virginia Senator Ralph Northam, of Accomack County on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, beat out Aneesh Chopra by nearly 10 points, with 54 % of the vote. A medical doctor, former circuit court judge, and former Commonwealth Attorney, Northam will face Republican E.W Jackson this fall in a race to be the next Lt. Governor of Virginia.
Democrats also picked Mark R. Herring, a Virginia State Senator representing portions of Farifax and Loudoun counties, to be thier nominee for Attorney General. Herring beat out Justin E. Fairfax, who has served as Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern Division in Alexandria, by nearly four points with 51 percent of the vote.
Voters this fall will also make a choice between businessman and Democrat Terry McAuliffe, of Farifax, or current Attorney General and Representative Kenneth Cuccinelli, of Prince William for Governor.
In a local race, Republican Craig E. Ennis who sought to unseat Virginia House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell from his Stafford district was easily defeated garnering only 8% of the vote. On his website, Ennis attempted to link Howell to President Barack Obama “when it comes to pushing the Liberal Agenda in Va. The Expansion of Medicaid is the new entitlement and government take over of medicine.”
First elected delegate in 1987, Howell became Speaker of the House in 2003.
