Wexton Wins —  Democrat Jennifer Wexton defeated two veteran Loudoun County politicians Tuesday to earn a seat in the Senate of Virginia and give Virginia Democrats majority power in Richmond for the first time since 2009. Wexton topped Republican John Whitbeck 53 percent to 37 percent. Former Republican state Del. Joe May, running his Senate race as an independent, earned nearly 10 percent of the vote. The special election was to fill the 33rd District seat vacated by Sen. Mark Herring, Virginia’s new attorney general. The 33rd covers Herndon, Oak Hill and part of Loudoun County. [Loudoun Times Mirror]
