RICHMOND — (Press Release) Senator Richard H. Stuart, (R-King George), today issued the following statement regarding the alleged yearbook photo of Governor Ralph Northam:
Ralph Northam is a good man. He has devoted his entire life to the service of others through his career in the Army, as a pediatrician, and as a public servant.
RICHMOND — So far this decade, Virginia has grown — and shrunk — in population.
Seventy of the state’s 133 cities and counties gained population between April 1, 2010, and July 1, 2018, according to data released this week by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia. The population of Loudoun County, in Northern Virginia, jumped 30 percent, to more than 406,000.
RICHMOND — Resisting pressure to resign, Gov. Ralph Northam said Saturday that he is not one of the individuals in a racist photo found on his medical school yearbook page, but he revealed he once “darkened” his skin as part of a Michael Jackson costume in a dance contest the same year.
At an afternoon press conference, Northam said the costume was not blackface — which is when a non-black person uses makeup or another substance to appear black. At the San Antonio event, which occurred in 1984, the same year the yearbook photo was taken, a 25-year-old Northam put shoe polish on his cheeks. He said he used a small amount because the substance is “hard to get off.”

RICHMOND, Va — Talk about a political firestorm.
On Friday morning, a conservative news website posted Gov. Ralph Northam’s page from a college yearbook featuring a racist photo.
RICHMOND — If Gov. Ralph Northam resigns because of the scandal over a racist picture in his medical school yearbook, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax would become the 74th governor of Virginia.
That would make Fairfax, 39, the second African-American governor in Virginia’s history and just the fourth to hold the office nationwide in recent years. In 1990, L. Douglas Wilder became the first elected African-American governor in the United States.
