The Virginian-Pilot is reporting that Jody Wagner, one-time Democrat congressional candidate, is resigning as Virginia’s Secretary of Finance next Friday, Aug. 8.
Wagner, who has never held elected office, is expected to announce she is running for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, where she will face a primary challenge from John Bowerbank, who has also has never held elected office.
When asked whether she will run, she responded, “I’m considering my options,” which is effectively like flipping off a reporter and saying, “I’m not telling you yet.”
According to a release by Gov. Tim Kaine, Richard “Ric” Brown has been appointed as the new Secretary of Finance. Hopefully he will do a better job of predicting state revenues.
