A couple of quick notes on some Hampton Roads races, courtesy of PilotOnline tweets. First up, the 6th Senate District:
@loyola4congress expctd to announce state Senate bid in coming days. Sources: he will seek GOP nom to chllng Sen. Ralph Northam, D-Norfolk.—

This confirms what I’ve been hearing. Former Congressional candidate Ben Loyola, who lost to Scott Rigell for the Republican nomination last year, is poised to obtain the nod. Word is that he has to move into the 6th first.
Then we have some info on Chesapeake Republicans:
@senatorblevins and Del. John Cosgrove (Chesapeake Repubs.) schedule joint event June 7. Sources: both will seek re-election.—

I just received an invite via Facebook to the event on June 7. Rumor had it that Sen. Blevins was not going to run for re-election and that Del. Cosgrove was thinking of running to replace him. The invitation says, “Join us for our re-election announcement.”
