[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was pretty popular with his old district and the demographics arent that different.[/quote]

[url=https://fairfaxsenator.com/endorsements/]Senators Tim Kaine, Mark Warner [/url] and now the [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/09/northern-virginia-democratic-senate-endorsements/]Washington Post Editorial Board[/url] are endorsing Chap Petersen.

37th District: Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax City), whose new district also includes Falls Church, chairs the Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee and the Finance and Appropriations Committee’s general government subcommittee. The bowtie-wearing iconoclast can sometimes be a thorn in the side of party leaders, and we’ve disagreed with some of his moderate stances on gun control, but he’s thoughtful and smart. He also reflected the concerns of the parents he represents as he fought to reopen K-12 schools at a time when that meant clashing with teachers unions.

Challenger Saddam Azlan Salim immigrated from Bangladesh and experienced eviction and homelessness as a child before studying public finance and becoming a consultant for federal clients. He’s active in local Democratic politics, but he’s not as qualified as Mr. Petersen for the Senate.
