Pressure rising for Democrats in Virginia governor’s race
Richard Stuart, a longtime Republican state senator in Virginia, got three days’ notice this summer to help pull together a weekday campaign event for Glenn Youngkin, the GOP candidate for governor. The crowd was eager to meet Youngkin, the businessman and political newcomer hoping to break a 12-year GOP losing streak in statewide elections and keep Democratic candidate and former governor Terry McAuliffe from a second term. “I am seeing more enthusiasm than I’ve seen for a statewide Republican candidate since I can remember,” said Stuart, who’s represented his district since 2008.
