Virginia Senate, Special, 2023

Posted March 16, 2023, 1:35 p.m.

A special election will be held on March 28 to fill a vacancy in the Virginia Senate. I make the following recommendation in that race:

9th District: Former Virginia Senator Jennifer McClellan (D-VA 9th) resigned following her election to the U.S. House of Representatives in a special election in February. Delegate Lamont Bagby (D-VA 74th) and Steve Imholt (R) stand as candidates to replace her. I make no recommendation.

Scott Bradford is a writer and technologist who has been putting his opinions online since 1995. He believes in three inviolable human rights: life, liberty, and property. He is a Catholic Christian who worships the trinitarian God described in the Nicene Creed. Scott is a husband, nerd, pet lover, and AMC/Jeep enthusiast with a B.S. degree in public administration from George Mason University.
