Loudoun Now
After a day of voting and three days of ballot counting, the Republican slate is set for November’s state elections.
Glenn Youngkin secured the GOP nomination for governor and will be joined on the ballot by lieutenant governor nominee Winsome Sears and attorney general hopeful Del. Jason Miyares (R-82).
Party delegates cast votes at 39 locations around the commonwealth on Saturday’s unassembled convention. In Loudoun, delegates from throughout the 10
th Congressional District lined up outside the party headquarters in Ashburn to drop off their ballots in a drive-through collection. Statewide, only about half of the 53,000 registered delegates cast ballots on Saturday.
Business leader and political outsider Glenn Youngkin secured the Republican nomination for governor of Virginia.
Youngkin will carry the Republican Party banner across the commonwealth as the Republican candidate for governor on the Nov. 2 ballot. Youngkin joins Attorney General nominee Jason Miyares on the ticket, and will soon be joined by a candidate for lieutenant governor.
Youngkin is a homegrown Virginian who grew up in Richmond and Virginia Beach. As his father changed jobs, Glenn learned that moving around didnât equal moving up â nothing was handed to him. From his first job washing dishes and frying eggs at a diner in Virginia Beach, Glenn embraced hard work and personal responsibility to help sustain his family when his father lost his job. His determination to succeed earned him multiple high school basketball honors in Virginia and an athletic scholarship to college.
