Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax enters race for governor
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax formally kicked off his campaign for governor Saturday, a year after facing two allegations of sexual assault.
www.fox5dc.comI don’t have live updates right now, but here’s the latest context I can provide based on recent history: Justin Fairfax has been a prominent Virginia political figure since serving as lieutenant governor from 2018 to 2022 and has faced multiple sexual-assault allegations that led to substantial public and political pressure in 2019. He has repeatedly denied the allegations and called for full investigations, including requests for FBI involvement, while some Virginia lawmakers urged resignation or impeachment proceedings at various points in 2019–2020. Since then, Fairfax pursued other political campaigns, including gubernatorial bids, but the landscape may have evolved since then.
