In less than two weeks Virginia voters will go to the polls and select State Senators and Delegates. This is an especially critical election.
House: 67 Republicans vs. 33 Democrats
Senate: 21 Republicans vs. 19 Democrats
Republicans are in the majority in both bodies; a flip of 1 seat in the Senate makes a tie which is broken by the Lt. Gov., Northam (D), giving the Dems effective, if only narrow, control. A Senate majority is achievable this cycle for the Dems; a house majority may take 3 or more cycles.
But we must fight for every seat we can in each cycle.
Senator Jennifer Wexton brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the Senate of Virginia. From 2001 to 2005, Jennifer served as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney for Loudoun County, prosecuting felony and misdemeanor criminal and traffic cases in all of the Loudoun Courts. She successfully prosecuted thousands of cases and conducted hundreds of trials, including the prosecution of criminals who committed domestic violence or sexual offenses.
