(15,143 posts)1. Am I correct in my understanding
that Virginia only allows a Governor to serve one term in office? No incumbencies allowed?
That seems nuts.

(8,385 posts)2. You are correct. I assume Lt. Governor Fairfax will also run,
but that's my assumption.

Northam can run after the next Governor's term ends. No consecutive terms, since 1830.

Why is she announcing so early?
