When Republicans meet this weekend to nominate their 2021 ticket, thereâs a theoretical chance that they could do something neither party in Virginia has ever done â nominate a slate entirely composed of women.
Donât count on that. Just based on the sheer number of candidates, itâs more likely the party will nominate an all-male ticket.
Still, Republicans have a record number of women running: two of the partyâs seven candidates for governor, two of the six candidates for lieutenant governor and one of the four candidates for attorney general. Those five candidates add up to one more female candidate than on the Democratic side.
