Virginia Democrats secured their Statehouse majority in recent elections, with voters in northern and central parts of the state supporting two Democrats to fill key vacancies. In Loudoun County, Democratic Del. Kannan Srinivasan emerged victorious over Republican Tumay Harding in the race to succeed Suhas Subramanyam, who was elected to the U.S. House in November. In a related House of Delegates district, Democrat JJ Singh defeated Republican Ram Venkatachalam to replace Srinivasan, who moved on to a special Senate election.
Meanwhile, in Goochland County, Republican Luther Cifers faced off against Democrat Jack Trammell in the contest to succeed U.S. Rep. John McGuire. McGuire had secured Virginia’s 5th Congressional District by a narrow margin in a contentious primary against former U.S. Rep. Bob Good.
