Suprising news from VA? (Chloe) by Chloë

Virginia has attracted a lot of attention as of late. The recent transition of the state from red to blue, showed that it is no longer a strong hold for the republican party. The shift though is not coming from whole state. In reality, it can be traced to the two urban center, Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. This rise not only shifted the role that Virginia played in Presidential politics but also in state wide elections. The past two governors from Virginia are democrats as are the senators.
Terry McAuliffe, a well known party player and former chair of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign,is slated to win the democratic nomination for Governor.

With that said, this article, out of Northern Virginia, should not come as a surprise to anyone. I hope others follow this example. Congrats Ryan!
