Virginia Legislative Elections

On November 6, Virginia voters will elect state legislators. The 40 State Senate races include two Libertarian nominees and two Independent Green Party nominees. One of the Libertarians, Arin Sime, was endorsed by one of the two largest daily newspapers in the district (the Waynesboro News Virginian) on October 31. Sime has raised more money than the Democrat running in that race, although not as much money as the Republican incumbent who is running for re-election.

The other Libertarian running for State Senate is W. Donald Tabor, in a 2-person race against a Republican incumbent. The two Independent Green Party nominees for State Senate are Samuel D. Burley (running in a two-person race against a Democrat) and Mario Palmiotto (also running in a two-person race against a Democrat).

For the 100 races for the House of Delegates, the only minor party nominees are Independent Greens Craig Ennis (running against both a Democrat and a Republican) and Laura Clifton (running in a 2-person race against a Democrat).

The Virginia House has three independent members. All three are running for re-election. They are Lacey E. Putney, Watkins Abbitt, and Katherine Waddell. Putney had been serving in the Virginia House since he was first elected in 1961. He has run as an independent every two years starting in 1971. He is 79 years old and chairs the Committee dealing with election laws.

  2. How many of these “endorsees” (1) are aware of your endorsement, and (2) how many of the ones who have actually accepted the endorsement? I know Don Marro personally and find it hard to believe he would have anything to do with the so-called Independent Green Party.
