RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Democrats are taking steps to redraw their state’s U.S. House districts, hoping to boost their party’s chances in next year’s midterm elections and counter President Donald Trump’s push for more partisan districts in Republican-run states.
Virginia House Speaker Don Scott sent a letter Thursday to members telling them to convene Monday for a special session but did not state a reason. The purpose includes congressional redistricting aimed at gaining more Democratic-held seats, according to four sources with direct knowledge of the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because they are not authorized to publicly discuss them.
Flyover Today — From AlertDC: “The U.S. Military will conduct an aircraft flyover in the NCR over Arlington National Cemetery on Friday, October 24, at approximately 11:00AM”
Va. Races Poll — “Support for Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones has tumbled among Virginia voters in the wake of a texting scandal that broke three weeks ago, but likely voters have not transferred much support to his opponent — Republican incumbent Jason S. Miyares — and the race is a tie, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll.” [Washington Post]
Reminder: MCM Sunday — “The Marine Corps Marathon is the most heavily attended special event of the year in Arlington. ACPD & our partner agencies are ready to serve & protect the runners, visitors & community during the race on Sunday. Learn about how ACPD protects the county during large-scale events.” [ACPD/X, NBC 4, ARLnow]
Teen Robbery in Ballston — “Three juvenile male suspects followed the juvenile male victim into a building during which they assaulted him and stole a clothing item before fleeing the scene. No injuries were reported. Medics responded and evaluated the victim on scene.” [ACPD]
Fight Feeds Political Narrative — “For days, MAGA media was up in arms over a scuffle at an Arlington GOP party, saying it was liberal agitators. Turns out, it was a pair of GOP operatives beefing with others there. Everyone quickly deleted their tweets.” [Sam Stein/X, The Bulwark]
Closure Causes Aging Concerns — “The recent announcement that Culpepper Garden will close its assisted living wing should alarm every policymaker in Arlington County. For years, Culpepper has been a lifeline for older residents of modest means—people who have lived, worked, and volunteered in Arlington for decades but can no longer afford the area’s soaring housing and care costs.” [Letter to the Editor]
Wonder Food Hall’s Big Expansion — “Upside co-founder Nick Freshman is a skeptic of the hall-less food hall model. ‘I’m not going to say it’s not going to work, but I do think that pushing capital behind a brand can’t solve everything. And while Washington welcomes out-of-towners, Washingtonians really appreciate their homegrown brands.'” [Axios]
State Tests Get Harder — “Schools across Virginia expect to see a dramatic increase in students failing end-of-year exams as the state prepares to implement higher benchmarks for standardized tests. But some state leaders, including Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), say the changes could give a more accurate picture of student performance.” [Washington Post]
Real Estate Market Eases — “Some good news for wanna-be DMV home buyers: House inventory is up across the region, and prices seem to be stalling, according to Bright MLS’ latest report. It’s another indicator of a softening market in Washington amid government cuts, President Trump’s crackdown and the ongoing shutdown.” [Axios]
No Va. Recession Yet? — “The Youngkin administration and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond are pushing back on a recent analysis saying Virginia is one of 22 states and districts in, or at risk of, a recession. Virginia isn’t immune to a downturn, but local economists and state leaders tell Axios they’re not seeing one yet — even as inflation fatigue, layoffs and a government shutdown make the “recession risk” narrative sound believable to many.” [Axios]
Stormy Halloween Week — “For the past couple of days, we’ve been discussing the possibility of a chilly, stormy weather pattern around Halloween… The best chance of rain is probably on Oct. 29 and 30, rather than on Halloween itself. There’s some chance, however, that storminess lingers into Halloween and it may be rather breezy in the wake of the potential storm.” [CWG]
It’s Friday — Clouds will increase throughout the day, reaching a high temperature near 61, with a northwest wind at 8 to 13 mph in the morning and gusts up to 22 mph.
