The Races and the Winners:
For Democrats, Tuesday is the opportunity to vote for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General candidates. The gubernatorial
choice is already in place -- Terry McAuliffe -- because no one stepped up to challenge him.
That leaves two choices for lieutenant governor: State Senator Ralph Northam (D-6th Senate District) and Aneesh Chopra who is a techie guy out of the Obama administration.
Also two choices for attorney general: State Senator Mark Herring (D-33rd Senate District), and former federal prosecutor Justin Fairfax.
If you're a Republican, the Top Three candidates were chosen for you at
the recent Republican Party of Virginia convention in Richmond: Ken Cuccinelli for Governor, E.W. Jackson for Lieutenant Governor, and Mark Obenshain for Attorney General.
Republicans have eight contested House of Delegates races:
- 15th District: Incumbent Todd Gilbert versus Mark Prince

- 33rd District: Incumbent Joe May versus David LaRock
