📰 News we're reading

• Delegate Bulova to resign, accept appointment by incoming Gov. Spanberger (ffxnow.com) — Oakton residents will soon lose their longtime state delegate, as David Bulova is resigning his 11th District seat to become Virginia’s secretary of natural and historic resources in the incoming Spanberger administration. His departure will trigger yet another special election for voters in Oakton, Fairfax City and Fair Oaks, and depending on timing, the district could be unrepresented when the 2026 General Assembly session starts in January.
