Virginia Democratic Party Opts for a Primary to Select Nominee for Governor in 2013
Yesterday in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Virginia voted, with some minor opposition, to hold a Primary in June of next year to select a nominee for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General.
I am extremely happy that our party has chosen to hold a primary for these constitutional offices in the Commonwealth. I believe that a primary is the most democratic way to choose our party slate for 2013, and I look forward to engaging in a vigorous debate with those who also will be running in the primary for the nomination for Governor of the Commonwealth.
