State Sen. Vogel Wins GOP Primary for Lt. Governor

Republican Jill Vogel, an attorney and state senator from northern Virginia, has won her party’s nomination for lieutenant governor.

Vogel beat fellow state Sen. Bryce Reeves and state Del. Glenn Davis in Tuesday’s primary. In November, she will Justin Fairfax, an attorney from northern Virginia, who won the Democratic nomination.

Vogel is a former attorney for the Republican National Committee who advises clients on political election law and other issues. She’s said her top priorities would be creating jobs and making Virginia more economically competitive. She’s also called for a ban on gifts to politicians and redistricting reform.

If elected, Vogel would be the first woman to serve as lieutenant governor and would also end Virginia’s more than two-decade streak without a woman in statewide elected office.
