There is no shortage of Democrats lining up for the job left vacant by Del. Bob Brink, who recently resigned as delegate to Arlington and McLean's 48th District to take a job with the McAuliffe administration.
Democrats will hold an "unassembled caucus" on Sunday to pick a candidate; the special election is set for Aug. 19.
Here are the Democratic candidates running for the seat; each link will get you to the candidate's Facebook page.
Locations and Times
- Arlington voters – Sunday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., at Yorktown High School cafeteria (5200 N. Yorktown Boulevard, Arlington)
- Fairfax voters – Sunday 12 noon to 6 p.m. at McLean High School cafeteria (1633 Davidson Rd, McLean, Westmoreland Street entrance).
Call to Caucus / Rules
Virginia voters registered in the 48th House of Delegates District prior to June 30, will be allowed to vote. The caucus will be unassembled, meaning a “firehouse primary” style of voting (show up, vote, leave). Voting will be conducted using preference voting (ranked order balloting) as in prior Arlington Democratic caucuses this year.
