Sen. Joseph D. Morrissey — maverick, 'magician,' twice-disbarred lawyer — takes on Sen. Jennifer L. McClellan, who's racked up endorsement after endorsement.
among McClellan, a Democratic establishment favorite, and Morrissey, who keeps coming back from controversy thanks to loyal local fans.. Any registered voter who lives in the district can vote, as long as they sign a statement declaring that they are a Democrat. Now, left on the sidelines is state Sen. Joseph D. Morrissey , the other big name vying for the seat that became open with McEachin’s death last month, shortly after he had won reelection.
Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney and local officials from eastern Henrico County joined Bagby and McClellan Friday to officially pledge unity. Underlining the degree to which McClellan can marshal the party establishment on short notice, Friday’s event was run by staffers from the administration of former governor Ralph Northam and Del. Eileen Filler-Corn , the former speaker of the House of Delegates.
“Not coordinated, but united,” Sen. Tim Kaine insisted of the party’s avalanche of support for McClellan. Kaine described McClellan as the only person he’s ever mentored in politics — he even officiated her wedding — so, naturally, he endorsed her. But he said Morrissey’s framing about the broader party’s intents “makes it all about him. It’s not about him. It’s about Jenn.”
Morrissey is deploying scrappy, label-defying tactics meant to appeal to Democrats and Republicans alike. In a radio ad made for the campaign, conservative radio host John Fredericks, who was chairman of President Donald Trump’s Virginia campaigns in 2016 and 2020, encourages Republicans to vote for Morrissey in the primary.
