Abigail Spanberger makes history as Virginia’s first woman elected governor, defeating Republican Winsome Earle-Sears.
With more than 90 of 133 localities reporting, Democrats lead in the races for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General — Ghazala Hashmi and Jay Jones both hold advantages.
In the Roanoke Valley, Sam Rasoul cruises to re-election, Joe McNamara leads in the 40th District, and Chris Obenshain holds a strong edge in the 41st.
