Star power in race for lieutenant governor

A former chief of staff to Vice President Biden filed paperwork Friday to run for lieutenant governor in Virginia, adding a third Democrat to the race.

Susan Platt was Biden’s chief of staff in the Senate for two years in the mid-1990s, according to her LinkedIn profile, and owns a political consulting firm.

Other Democrats seeking to replace Lt. Gov. Ralph S. Northam are former U.S. attorneys Gene Rossi and Justin Fairfax. The Republicans are Del. Glenn R. Davis Jr. (Virginia Beach) and state Sens. Bryce E. Reeves (Spotsylvania) and Jill Holtzman Vogel (Fauquier.)

Dudenhefer won’t seek another term

Del. L. Mark Dudenhefer said Friday that he will not seek reelection, opening up a Republican seat in a hotly contested part of Prince William County that Democrats will probably push hard to capture.

In a statement on his website, Dudenhefer (R-Stafford) gave no reason for not running again for the seat he narrowly recaptured in 2015 with little more than 50 percent of the vote.

Applicants are sought for police review panel

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is seeking applicants for a nine-member civilian panel that will review cases of alleged police abuse. Members will be appointed to three-year terms, with one person serving as chairman.

The county is seeking racial and ethnic diversity on the panel and will try to appoint members from each of the county’s nine magisterial districts. Appointments will be made on the basis of previous civic involvement, expertise in law enforcement and applicants’ reputations in their communities.
