The road back to red began in a big way today!
Republican Barry Knight defeated Democrat John LaCombe with an incredible 83% of the vote in the race for the 81st House district in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
Barry Knight did 10 points better than Delores McQuinn, who ran unopposed in the 70th today also. McQuinn won with 73% of the vote.
Virginia Beach Democrats actually nominated a candidate for the 81st who captured a smaller percentage than “write-in” in the 70th. Virginia Beach Democrats under 17%!
An unopposed candidate had a rougher time than Virginia Beach Republicans winning today. I think we can say that the new year has officially begun.
