The ballot is set and the race is heating up. Tuesday marked the final step in setting the tickets for the Virginia 2013 statewide elections. The Republicans selected their nominees in May at a convention, but now the Democrats have narrowed down their field. Terry McAuliffe will be the Democratic nominee for Governor, Ralph Northam for Lieutenant Governor, and Mark Herring rounding out the ticket as the Attorney General nominee. The Republicans nominated Ken Cuccinelli for Governor, E.W. Jackson for Lieutenant Governor, and Mark Obenshain for Attorney General. The general election takes place November 5, 2013.
At the top of the ticket, McAuliffe and Cuccinelli have already started campaigning, but now that the nomination phase is complete, the candidates will be called on to make more statements and outline their positions. With both sides beginning to sling mud, it is important to find out where the candidates stand on the issues that really matter to Virginians. The Virginia Prosperity Project will continue to monitor the race and bring employers, employees, and their families the information that will allow voters to make an informed choice about which candidates will continue to allow Virginia to prosper. Where McAuliffe and Cuccinelli stand on health care, transportation, minimum wage, trade, and taxes matter to hardworking Virginians. These issues are tied to why Virginia continues attract business, grow its economy, and allow the Commonwealth’s citizens to thrive.
