In addition to her victory, four other LGBTQ candidates, all Democrats, were reelected to the Virginia legislature three in the House of Delegates, one in the Senate helping to flip both chambers to Democratic control. This gives the party a trifecta in Virginia state government, as the state already has a Democratic governor, who did not have to run for reelection this year, and makes it likely that Virginia will finally enact an LGBTQ-inclusive nondiscrimination law. --- All hail King Hutton Official Carter Hutton fanboy <cite>King_Hutton posted [p:929749194] in Danica Roe...

treewojima 11/06/19 11:05:51 AM #3:	https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia%27s_13th_House_of_Delegates_district I used to live there, it's definitely suburban and has a lot of commuters that work in more northern counties like Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington or even DC. LOTS of government contractors. I'm not surprised she got re elected. Plus according to my mom they were running lots of anti-trans and homophobic ads against her, so I'm sure that rubbed a lot of voters the wrong way. <cite>treewojima posted [p:929749802] in Danica Roe...
