Who is on the Ballots

Democrats Aneesh Chopra and Sen. Ralph Northam (D-Norfolk) will face off for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor on June 11.

Chopra, 40, served as Virginia’s secretary of technology from 2006-2009 and was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009 to serve as the nation’s first chief technology officer. Chopra lives in Arlington with his wife and two daughters.

Ralph Northam, 53, has served as a member of the Virginia State Senate since 2007. He lives in Norfolk with his wife and has a son and daughter, both in college.

Chopra has $919,815 in cash on hand, according to recent information from the Virginia Public Access Project. Northam has $307,029 in the bank.

State Sen. Mark Herring (D-33rd) and Former Assistant United States Attorney Justin Fairfax are competing for the Attorney General candidacy.

The winners will run in Virginia's general election Nov. 5, facing the Republican candidates selected this weekend at the Virginia Republican Party’s convention in Richmond.

Approximately 13,000 delegates made the trip from around the state to formally nominate Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli as the Republican party’s gubernatorial candidate. E.W. Jackson, a minister from Chesapeake, won the nomination for lieutenant governor. For attorney general, the party nominated state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain, who is from Harrisonburg.
