45

Congratulations to Al Pollard, who won the special election held today in the 99th House district. With this win, the Democrats now have 45 seats.

From the DPVA:

“Albert’s win tonight is just one more sign that Virginians are looking for the kind of commonsense leadership our Democratic candidates are offering,” said DPVA Executive Director, Levar Stoney. “Albert is known for being a fiscally responsible leader who can and does work across party lines to find solutions to the problems we face. His service in the Virginia House of Delegates will be of great benefit to the citizens of the 99th.”

One step closer to 51.
