Pamela Montgomery has taken a formidable lead in fundraising as she and Delegate Candi King (D–Stafford, Woodbridge) face each other in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary.
Montgomery has raked in $586,000 in the past two months, with King showing $165,000 in donations. Both candidates have received statewide attention after Montgomery collected nearly $100,000 from Clean Virginia, a Charlottesville-based PAC that backs candidates who refuse to take cash from Dominion Energy, the state’s largest utility.
Political heavyweight Dominion Energy emerged in the crowded Democratic race for lieutenant governor in the final weeks, giving $100,000 to a candidate who once said she’d never take its money.

At 2:29 p.m. Monday, June 1, Virginia State Police responded to the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 for a vehicle crash.
Several witnesses had observed a Honda sedan weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed just before it made a sudden lane change and ran off the right side of the interstate. The Honda struck the guardrail, re-entered the travel lanes and struck a tractor-trailer. The impact of the crash caused both vehicles to catch fire.
