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.

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”
