Lieutenant Governor
State Sen. Ralph Northam (D-Norfolk) faces off against Aneesh Chopra, the first U.S. chief technology officer under President Barack Obama.
Although Chopra lacks Northam’s veteran experience in public office, he has more financial support behind him, soundly beating Northam in the most recent fundraising period.
The victor in Tuesday’s primary will share a ticket with McAuliffe, former chairman of the Democratic National Committe and Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate. McAuliffe is running unopposed.
Attorney General
State Sen. Mark Herring (D-Loudoun) is going up against Justin Fairfax, a former federal prosecutor who worked to fight drug and human trafficking in Alexandria.
Like Northam, Herring has experience as an advantage in the race, but Fairfax’s history as a prosecutor has won him looks from big players, including a Washington Post endorsement.
