Source: Fox News

“State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chester, has won the Democratic nomination for Virginia’s lieutenant governorship, according to The Associated Press. Hashmi, an immigrant from India, said on her campaign site that she is ‘the only candidate endorsed by both abortion rights groups and labor.’ Hashmi was locked in a close race with the top two contenders, former Green Bay Packers safety Aaron Rouse and ex-Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney. Hashmi will face GOP nominee John Reid in the state’s general election in November.” (06/18/25)
