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.
If the Virginia Democratic Party establishment has its way, the party will nominate a ticket comprised entirely of Northern Virginians.
Even if the party establishment doesnât have its way, the party might still nominate a ticket comprised entirely of Northern Virginians â the front-runners from governor and attorney general are from there, and so are four of the six candidates for lieutenant governor.
Is this wise? The answer to that might depend on whether you live in Fairfax County or Franklin County.
Hereâs what we can say with more certainty: This has never happened before.
The fact that it might happen now underscores the demographic and electoral trends that are remaking Virginia.
