VA: Former Loudoun County prosecutor and CIA officer to run for state Senate seat

Former Loudoun County Prosecutor and CIA officer Russet Perry has announced plans to run for the Virginia State Senate’s 31st District that now occupies Loudoun and Fauquier counties as a result of redistricting.

As a graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center where she excelled as a participant in the school’s Domestic Violence clinic, Perry is running on a platform to protect the state’s most vulnerable population from domestic violence and gun violence, stopping the opioid gun violence, promoting civil discourse and supporting strong public schooling.

“This is a pivotal moment, not just for Virginia, but for the future of our children and our families. Throughout my career, I have always fought for justice. As a CIA officer, I worked every day to protect our democracy, and I will continue to fight for women to have the right to make decisions with her doctor about her reproductive health care,” Perry said in a Oct. 24 announcement.

Perry, who currently works for the Laurel Brigade Group in Leesburg, will now be challenging Republican state Sen. Jill Vogel instead of Democratic state Sen. Barbara Favola, who will continue to represent the 31st district till the elections in November 2023.

One of my coven-mates is in the Northern VA exurbs and is working with "Run for Something" to help pro-choice Dem women run for office. I wonder if this woman is one of hers?
