Elections

The Democratic primary election took place on June 11, 2013, followed by the general election on November 5, 2013.
Race background
Incumbent Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling (R) did not seek re-election in 2013. Nine candidates filed to fill the executive seat, including two Democrats and seven Republicans. State Sen. Ralph Northam defeated Aneesh Chopra for the Democratic Party's nomination for lieutenant governor in the June 11 primary election.[4] Northam's general election opponent was Republican E.W. Jackson. Jackson was nominated by delegates of the Virginia Republican Party at the party-funded statewide primary convention on May 17-18.[5] Until Jackson's convention victory, Virginia Republicans had not nominated an African-American for any statewide office since nominating Maurice Dawkins' in 1988.[6]
In the November 5, 2013, general election, Northam defeated Jackson by a margin of over 10 percentage points.[7]
