Incumbent Supervisors Win Republican Primaries

Supervisors Lori Waters, Eugene Delgaudio and Steve Snow defeated their opponents in the Republican primaries that was held today, but incumbent Sheriff Steve Simpson lost to Greg Ahleman. I must confess that I am little bit surprised that Ms. Waters won, because it appeared that the tide was moving in Jack Ryan’s favor, despite what most agree was a well-run and well-financed campaign by Ms. Waters.

Rumor has it that Sheriff Simpson may be running as an independent candidate this fall. Will the results of this election help or hurt Republicans this fall? This is a tough year to be a Republican, would be interesting to see if Loudoun voters agree with the Republican primary voters that the incumbents deserve another term. What do you think?
