I want to congratulate my good friend Jennifer Wexton on her hard-fought and well-earned victory. I could not be more proud to know that the citizens of Virginia’s 33rd Senate District will continue to be represented by someone who will always put problem solving over partisan politics and who will work tirelessly to strengthen our economy, improve our transportation system and who will support our public schools.

Between this unambiguous win and Gov Ultrasound getting indicted, it is a good day to be blue in the Old Dominion!!!
