Danica Roem, a journalist turned public works advocate, has won Virginia’s 13th District House of Delegates seat, making her the state’s first transgender legislator.

Roem beat out the district’s 26-year incumbent, conservative values and government transparency champion Bob Marshall.

The race attracted national attention as Marshall, a conservative who proposed a bill restricting which bathrooms transgender people could use, faced off against the transgender stepmother who plays in a metal band.

The SWAMP strikes back.

Big money, government workers worried Trump will ax them for their great pay /benefit jobs.

Not sure why candidates are running away from Trump. The GOPe is at risk of losing to Democrats and being primaried by populist conservatives who actually don’t want to be part of the existing payola system.

MSM will lie and say today was about Trump, but it was about the loser traditional Republicans who got beat by Obama twice. They are unwilling to fight back.

Virginia is the headwaters of The Swamp.

The fact there are individuals calling this man a woman in violation of truth is all the cultural bagrot decay needed..but let’s talk gun control, shall we? Rejection of science, truth, natural laws never bodes well.

This depressed me way more than that GOP snake Gillespie losing.

Did Michael endorse him?

[Olog-hai]

He was a weirdo even as Dan Roem. (See post 7.)

Every traditional family values citizen in the 13th District of Virginia should have voted for the conservative candidate. Shame on them.

When women get raped in the bathrooms/lockerrooms they will come to regret this.

Meh, I doubt most voters there even know/knew. It was a Democratic wave and they voted the candidate with the D next to their name. The tranny will probably get thrown out in two years.

I know, ironic isn’t it?

Thanks George W. Bush.
Before he was President, Virginia was English speaking, low crime and Republican.
