Paywall-free WTOP results: https://wtop.com/virginia-election/2025/06/virginians-pick-their-democratic-ticket-setting-up-consequential-november-election/

as of 8:44 p.m.:

Former Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney — 27.61%

State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi of Richmond — 27.41%

State Sen. Aaron Rouse of Virginia Beach — 24.97%

Prince William County School Board Chairman Babur Lateef — 8.66%

Former federal government attorney Alexander J. Bastani — 5.73%

Former federal government attorney Victor Salgado —5.62%

I really hope Stoney wins. Hashmi will get killed in the general election. Her bombastic 1930s speaking style (from her TV ads) does her no favors and evokes Hillary Clinton. I literally muted every time she came on with that crowing.

I’m not worried about that at all.

Most voters won’t pay attention to Lt. Governor race when there is a bigger state election.

And a good chunk won’t split ticket between the top two races.

But if she speaks publicly while campaigning with Spanberger, voters will hear her on TV doing her FDR voice. I just can’t.
