We’ll be updating this post with official election results as they are reported. Sign up for our newsletter to keep up with the latest.

As Virginia heads into a new legislative session, the General Assembly is poised for membership changes that will shape the Commonwealth’s 2026-2027 landscape. Tuesday’s elections also brought new leadership at the statewide level, with:

• Abigail Spanberger (D) winning the race for governor 

• Ghazala Hashmi (D) winning the race for lieutenant governor 

• Jay Jones (D) winning the race for attorney general

With Democrats now holding the governorship, Senate, and House of Delegates, Virginia will enter the 2026-2027 session under a Democratic trifecta. These results, alongside changes in the House of Delegates, set the stage for new priorities and perspectives in Richmond.  

For government affairs professionals, understanding these shifts early is critical. By building relationships with new members early and strengthening connections with returning legislators, you’ll gain an invaluable edge before the new session begins. 

At Roboro, we’re committed to helping you stay ahead of the curve by delivering actionable legislative insights to support proactive advocacy. We’ve synthesized the latest election data below, offering a summary of the upcoming member changes and their potential impact.
