Congratulations to Del. Kannan Srinivasan on winning the Democratic nomination in SD32 this evening. Next up – winning the special election on January 7, 2025, so that Democrats maintain their narrow 21-19 majority in the State Senate! I’ll post final vote totals for all the candidates as soon as I get them.
P.S. The vacancy occurred because current State Senator Suhas Subramanyam won the race to succeed Rep. Jennifer Wexton (who is retiring due to health issues) in VA10.
