WASHINGTON (AP) — Virginia Democrats will settle a crowded six-way primary for lieutenant governor on Tuesday as well as a contested nomination fight for state attorney general. Meanwhile, voters across the commonwealth will choose nominees for the state House of Delegates.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church and surrounding areas of Northern Virginia, effective from 5 p.m. tonight (Tuesday).

*Mamistad Groups meet IN PERSON-only the introductory Zoom call is virtual. :)
Pregnancy and new mom groups are a lifesaver when it comes to normalizing those feelings we just can’t be prepared for.
Arlington’s newly reconstituted Human Rights Commission got to work last week with a discussion of new limits on its ability to pursue accountability for county leaders.
After the Arlington County Board fired all members of the commission last August following several confrontations between the two groups, commission Chair Jimmy McBirney used a Thursday meeting to acknowledge the entity’s “limited jurisdiction and limited scope.”
County officials say a modest state grant will go a long way to supporting local first-responders after traumatic incidents.
Board members at their Saturday (June 14) meeting accepted a $30,000 Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services grant that will provide more training for those who help police, fire, sheriff and other public-safety personnel after incidents like January’s aircraft collision near Reagan National Airport.
Primary Day Today — “Today is Virginia’s Democratic primary election, with Arlington voters choosing nominees for Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, House of Delegates District 1, and County Board in contested races. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.” [Arlington County]
School Board Field Stands at Three — With the filing deadline set for today at 7 p.m., it appears it likely will be a three-person field for the lone School Board seat on the Nov. 4 ballot. Independent James “Vell” Rives IV and Democratic endorsee Monique “Moe” Bryant have qualified for the ballot access, county election officials tell ARLnow, joining Major Webb in the race to succeed Mary Kadera. –Scott McCaffrey
Trash-Collection Rate Unchanged — County Board members on Saturday voted to leave unchanged, for the coming year, the annual rate of $415.75 for trash/recycling services to single-family homes. The rate will be enough to fully recoup the $13.85 million cost of the program for fiscal 2026, which begins on July 1. –Scott McCaffrey
Assault on Police at Metro Station — “At approximately 4:40 p.m. on June 13, an officer on patrol in the Pentagon City Metro Station stopped a male subject for fare evasion. As the officer spoke to the subject, the female suspect, who is known to the subject, attempted to intervene and grabbed the officer before walking away. The officer issued commands to the suspect, who was noncompliant. With the assistance of additional responding officers, the suspect was taken into custody.” [ACPD]
Sustainability Accolade for ART — “Arlington Transit’s new bus Operations and Maintenance Facility (AOMF) has received the highest sustainability rating possible for a public service site: the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Platinum for Communities certification.” [Arlington County]
