On the ballot
Three Republicans and two Democrats are seeking their party’s nomination for the chance to succeed Gov. Terry McAuliffe in the Executive Mansion. McAuliffe is barred by term limits from seeking another four-year term.
Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, and former Republican National Committee chair Ed Gillespie are the candidates to beat in their respective races. But Democrat Tom Perriello, who is running neck and neck with Northam in pre-election polls, and Republicans Frank Wagner and Corey Stewart have run active campaigns offering competing ideas and visions for the state.
Read more about the candidates for governor here: Guide to Virginia’s gubernatorial primary.
Voters also have multiple choices for the state’s second-highest elected post. Three candidates are running for lieutenant governor in both primaries, setting up a contested November election.
Northern Virginia Democrats have lined up to challenge incumbent Republicans in House of Delegates contests this fall. Among the contested races, four candidates are running in a Manassas-area district, and three are running in a Centreville-area district. Republican voters in District 28 will decide who’ll have a chance to succeed retiring House Speaker Bill Howell in Richmond.
