Virginia Senate, Special, 2023

Posted March 16, 2023, 1:35 p.m.

A special election will be held on March 28 to fill a vacancy in the Virginia Senate. I make the following recommendation in that race:

9th District: Former Virginia Senator Jennifer McClellan (D-VA 9th) resigned following her election to the U.S. House of Representatives in a special election in February. Delegate Lamont Bagby (D-VA 74th) and Steve Imholt (R) stand as candidates to replace her. I make no recommendation.

Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.
