The statewide Democratic ticket appeared together for the first time on Saturday afternoon in Richmond, four days after voters picked the party’s nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general. The GOP ticket, which was finalized in April, still has not appeared together.
Members of the statewide Democratic ticket made their first joint public appearance Saturday afternoon at Abner Clay Park in Richmond. From left are Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, the party’s candidate for lieutenant governor; Abigail Spanberger, the party’s nominee for governor; and Jay Jones, its nominee for attorney general.
