TOPIC: on the VA elections Tuesday: GOVERNOR, LT. GOVERNOR, ATTORNEY GENERAL AND HOUSE OF DELEGATES
GOVERNOR: Virginia’s race for governor is receiving national attention. The question both political parties want to know: Will supporters turn out for in an off-year election to support Ed Gillespie or Ralph Northam?
ATTORNEY GENERAL: Voters will also decide whether to re-elect Attorney General Mark Herring or give political newcomer John Adams a chance.
LT. GOVERNOR: And they will decide who will preside over the Virginia Senate, possibly breaking tie votes, as lieutenant governor. State Sen. Jill Vogel, a Republican, faces Democrat Justin Fairfax, a former federal prosecutor.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES: All 100 House of Delegate seats are also on the ballot — but 67 districts have contested races this year. And Democrats are challenging Republican incumbents in 48 districts, hoping to increase their numbers in the GOP-controlled House. Two years ago, just 29 districts fielded candidates from both major political parties.
