Shannon Taylor declares victory over Rob Wittman; what's next?
Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor says she is moving forward as the candidate-elect in Virginia's 1st District, though the Associated Press has not yet called the race
Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor has declared victory over longtime Republican Representative Rob Wittman in Virginia's 1st Congressional District, part of a strong Election Day for Democrats nationwide.
While some outlets have called the race for Taylor, CBS 6 is still waiting on the Associated Press, which it relies on, before projecting a winner.
Taylor tells CBS 6 that Wittman has not called to concede, but she adds that she is moving forward as if she is the candidate-elect.
While making her push to go from the courtrooms of Henrico as its top prosecutor to the halls of Congress representing the 1st District, Taylor says there were two things she heard over and over on the campaign trail that motivated voters: the rising cost of living and corruption in Washington.
Taylor says those are the things she wants to address in D.C. alongside the new Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.
