« Gov. Mark Warner & Shannon Valentine | Main | Pre-Inauguration: Friday in Williamsburg »

January 10, 2006

Congratulations to Shannon and all Lynchburg Dems!

Republican candidate Mike Harrington has just conceded to Democrat Shannon Valentine in the special election for the 23rd district House of Delegates seat vacated by Preston Bryant.

I'm looking at the precinct reports right now and, with 20 of 21 precincts reporting, Shannon Valentine has 56.93% of the vote in what is a surprisingly high turnout for a special election. I can only hope that this kind of motivation among voters bodes well for the upcoming midterms.

Congratulations to Shannon and to all of the Lynchburg and Virginia Democrats who worked so hard in these last few weeks to achieve a well earned victory!
