Jody wins her primary!

From today's Wash Post:

In the race for lieutenant governor, Jody Wagner, a former secretary of finance from Virginia Beach, defeated newcomer Michael Signer, a campaign strategist and national security expert from Arlington County. Wagner will face Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R) in November.
Yay!

Unfortunately, she's got a tough road ahead, since the governor nominee is a surprise pick. Not the well-known McAuliffe, but a guy the Post calls an "unpolished lawmaker from rural Bath County." Not a good sign when the Post calls a politician unpolished. Congrats to the Wagners on step one!
