Control of Virginia Senate May Be Decided

Washington Post:
“Voters in Virginia’s 33rd Senate District will cast ballots Tuesday in
a special election to fill the seat vacated by Attorney General Mark R.
Herring — a contentious three-way race that could determine control of
the state’s evenly divided Senate. The trio of candidates vying for the
seat — Democrat Jennifer Wexton, 10th Congressional District Republican
Committee Chairman John Whitbeck and former state delegate Joe T. May, a
veteran Republican who is running as an independent — have had only a
few weeks to organize their campaigns and rally supporters across the
district, a politically competitive territory spanning parts of Loudoun
and Fairfax counties.”
