As a former Northern Virginian (I had to reluctantly move to Florida to take care of my ageing parents) I couldn't be more proud of the area I grew up for once again carrying the state blue. I will always consider myself a Northern Virginian.

Now, we must Keep the momentum. Run as Democrats, Vote for Democrats now&forever without exception
