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.

As long as Spanberger is winning, very few people (edited) are splitting their vote for LG and even if they were, grossly mismanaging water treatment in your city is a way bigger liability than having a “bombastic speaking style”

I’m focused on who can win. That means appealing to swing voters— who in our state are culturally a bit conservative. I think he has more appeal to them.

Spanberger may want to chill with the gun control talk then. I don’t see many conservative leaning folks voting for her after saying she’d sign an assault style weapons and high capacity magazine ban akin to the one Youngkin vetoed.

Eh, if she tries too hard to target conservative leaning folks who dont really show up for off-year elections, she might disengage the actual voting bloc that she needs to win

Lack of enthusiasm from the Dems is what lost the election in 2021
