The Democratic National Committee (DNC) today celebrated the victories of NRI Del. Kannan Srinivasan in Virginia Senate District 32 and NRI JJ Singh in Virginia House District 26 following significant special elections. These victories mark the first major contests since November and ensure that both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly remain under Democratic control, serving as a critical safeguard against the extremism of Donald Trump and Glenn Youngkin.

"We congratulate Kannan Srinivasan and JJ Singh on their hard-fought victories in these pivotal special elections," said DNC Deputy Executive Director Roger Lau. "At a time when federal extremism threatens core rights, these wins reinforce our commitment to protecting reproductive freedom, expanding voting rights, and ensuring marriage equality. Virginia’s future remains bright thanks to these leaders who will continue driving economic growth and standing firm against Republican overreach."

Susan Swecker, Chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia, added: "Voters in Loudoun County have once again rejected Republican extremism and chosen leaders who will prioritize progress. These victories secure our majority in the General Assembly, allowing us to pass meaningful legislation that benefits every Virginian."

The stakes in these elections were monumental, with Democrats striving to protect foundational rights, including the codification of Roe v. Wade, voting rights expansion, and marriage equality safeguards. With Donald Trump set to return to power, the leadership of Srinivasan and Singh will play a vital role in preserving Virginia’s economic prosperity and protecting essential freedoms.

The DNC remains committed to year-round investments in state parties, including in Virginia, by providing operational support, voter protection services, advanced data tools, and technology resources to drive Democratic success across every level of government.
