I will not vote for Lateef because his latest mailing hinted at Spanberger endorsing him which is not the case. (Plus someone does not know how to spell the word appropriation on a campaign flyer. lol )

That’s why I like Lateef, he’s against the casino in Tysons. I don’t love the fact that Dominion is throwing around their money so much but I really dislike the casino even more.

I don't think I will vote, all I know is I am voting for the winner of the primary

Who is everyone planning to vote for at this point? There are other candidates too, but it seems like those two are the highest profile.


I don’t care for Hashmi. All she says is she is against Trump and wants to protect the normal stuff Democrats want protected. Couldn’t she have articulated some kind of vision?



Any Dem is better than any republican

There is no Republican Party

If you want this candidate to articulate more than they hate Trump you haven’t been paying attention

I like Lateef on a lot of issues, but it seems like it’s going to be between Hashmi and Stoney and if that’s the case, I’d rather Hashmi.

It’s today my dude! 7-7 at your usual polling place. If you’re in Gerry Connolly’s former district, there is an additional primary for that on Saturday 6/28 but it’s a little different because there are fewer locations open.

Hashimi wants to override local zoning and eliminate the suburbs. She basically said yesterday she wants to force “high-density” housing in local communities that don’t want it.

Stoney is pro casinos and pro crypto-currency and I cannot vote for someone that wants to bring more of either of those things to our state.
