Obviously, I’m not a fan of Sinclair-owned WJLA TV7, but I do give them credit for interviewing all the Democratic candidates running for the SD32 nomination today (“firehouse caucus” from 9 am to 4 pm – voting locations in Sterling, Brambleton, South Riding and Ashburn; see below for more detailed information). The candidates – who you can see interviewed, below – are Del. Kannan Srinivasan, former Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj, Sree NagiReddi, Puja Khanna, Hurunnessa Fariad and former VA Del. Ibraheem Samirah. May the best candidate win!
P.S. There’s a vacancy in SD32 because the current State Senator, Suhas Subramanyam, was just elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for VA10. For some information on SD32, see VPAP – 100% located in Loudoun County, very diverse (43.8% White, 30.4% Asian, 14.2% Hispanic, 10.6% Multiracial, 8.1% Black), heavily Democratic (McAuliffe won the district 60.2%-39.3% in 2021), etc. Despite this, some leading Democrats are concerned that in a low-turnout special election in the middle of the winter (on January 7, 2025), anything could happen, so they’re not taking this for granted at all – nor should any of us, especially given that the Democrats have just a narrow 21-19 State Senate majority!
On Saturday, Democrats and Republicans in eastern Loudoun County will have an opportunity to vote in firehouse primaries for their nominees in the Senate District 32 special election.
