And with that, Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano – one of the main possible competitors (along with possibly Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor) to former Del. Jay Jones for the 2025 Virginia Democratic Attorney General nomination – has announced that he will NOT be running, but will instead be supporting Jones. So at this point, Jones is the *heavy* favorite to be the 2025 Democratic AG nominee, and the odds-on favorite to be the next Attorney General of Virginia.
P.S. I’m now hearing from different sources that Taylor is probably going to run.
