The former law partner of a Virginia legislator who recently retired to become a judge handily won a special election Tuesday to fill the vacant southwest Virginia seat in the House of Delegates, according to state results.
Republican Jonathan E. “Jed” Arnold got about 81% of the just over 2,000 votes cast in the conservative 6th House of Delegates District, according to the Department of Elections. Democrats did not have a candidate on the ballot.
“My family and I are deeply humbled by the outpouring of support from voters throughout the 6th District. I am thankful for the tremendous support, and I am ready to get to work!” Arnold said in a written statement provided by a spokesperson.
