The Republican Party of Virginia voted 51-28 in favor of a primary to decide Republican nominees for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general in 2013 today.
Preliminary candidates include Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling for governor. Outside of that, it’s anyone’s guess.
Rumored candidates for LG include State Senator Mark Obenshain, State Senator Jeff McWaters, Del. Tim Hugo, and Prince William County Supervisor Corey Stewart.
Rumored candidates for AG include current AG Ken Cuccinelli – in which case nobody else likely runs. Some say he is deciding whether or not to run for governor or U.S. Senator in 2014. If he does not run for Attorney General, possible AG candidates include Del. Rob Bell, former candidate David Foster, and Obenshain.
