Senator of the Ghazala Hashmi state, D-Chester, won the democratic appointment for the Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia, according to the Associated Press.
Hashmi, an immigrant from India, said on her campaign site that she was the only candidate “approved by abortion rights and work groups”.
Hashmi was locked in a narrow race with the first two contenders, the former security of the Packers of Green Bay Aaron Rouse and the former mayor of Richmond Levar Stoney. Hashmi will face the candidate of GOP John Reid during the general elections of the State in November.
Stoney, who conceded on Wednesday, became mayor of Richmond, the capital, and supervised the withdrawal of several Confederate sculptures which, for decades, bordered the famous avenue Monument in the Fans district in the city center.

In the Washington Post At the time, Stoney wrote that there are “two epidemics in America: COVID-19 and racism. One now 14 months old, the other over 400 years old. The two were fatal. I knew that I was not going to be able to cure these problems that day (standing with demonstrators in Lee Circle).”
More recently, Stoney said to Virginie Mercure that he would work effectively through the aisle in the double role of the Lieutenant-Governor of the President of Virginia State Senate.
“We will not agree on everything, and it is ok. I will be a happy warrior – someone who is ready to stay firm on the values, to speak when there is a disagreement and to find a way to work together when the common terrain exists. The disagreement does not have to drive a dysfunction,” said Stoney.
Rouse has positioned itself as a force to counter Republican leaders in Washington, writing on his campaign site that he “has resolved Donald Trump repeatedly”.
He added that he had brought a law through the Legislative Assembly to protect federal workers against the attrition of the Ministry of Effectiveness of the Government, which he described as “musk chaos”.
The other candidates of the race included the chairman of the school board of Prince William, Dr. Babur Lateef, and the head of the Union Alexander Bastani.
Hashmi, whose county directly has Richmond-Petersburg, positioned himself as a progressive who underlined the support for public education, rights to abortion and affordable housing.
