Today May 4 will see party run contest in HD-41 this evening to pick GOP nominee

Chris Obenshain comes from the well known VA family which may give him an edge against Lowell Bowman

Meeting will be at 900 Life Drive in Christiansburg

This year’s Virginia elections could significantly impact voting

If GOP wins State Senate and House of Delegates, they will likely make a number of changes

This could include reducing early voting days, reinstating an excuse to vote absentee, and repealing same-day registration

Today April 6 is the primary filing deadline in Virginia

We’ll see if there are any last minute surprises

Still a couple seats where there are question marks about exactly who will be running

Stay tuned

Another retirement in the House of Delegates this time with Kaye Kory

This avoids a member v. member primary with Del. Marcus Simon in HD-13

Part of the reason for all the retirements is to avoid these types of contests and I think only a couple will happen in HoD

With all votes in except provisionals, Bagby almost cracked 90%

He generally over-performed most Democrats, but was slightly below Jennifer McClellan’s 2017 Special Election performance when she first won the seat

But lot more voters came out and he had a GOP opponent this time

Charles City is done reporting except provisionals

It is the only whole jurisdiction in this State Senate seat

Bagby won it 81%-19%

It went 59-40 Biden in 2020

In-person early voting has ended in the Special Election to replace Jennifer McClellan

Over 5,500 early votes so far with more by mail than in-person

Don’t expect much suspense on Tuesday’s Election Night in this deep blue district

Roanoke City Councilman Luke Priddy announces he’s running in SD-4 after John Edwards announced he’s retiring

GOP State Senator Dave Suetterlein is running here

Priddy acknowledges it’s an uphill climb in a seat GOP won by almost 7 points in 2022 but Tim Kaine won by 5 in 2018

Lots of competitive primaries in local Arlington races including for County Board, Commonwealth’s Attorney, and Sheriff

Arlington Dems will hold a party run vote to endorse for School Board and candidate Erin Freas-Smith withdrew

Miranda Turner and Anegelo Cocchiaro remain
