Commuters have clear choice in Virginia Senate race

Published



Gerarda Culipher may be the only legislative candidate in Northern Virginia history who decided to run for office while pregnant and stuck in traffic on Interstate 66. “I’m not even kidding,” she recently told The Examiner. “This time last summer, I was 8 ? months pregnant, my third pregnancy in three years, the air conditioning was not working on the Metro and the escalator at the station was not working either.

“‘This is ridiculous,’ I told myself as I huffed up the frozen escalator. My husband, Bryan, suggested I start driving to work. Then I had to worry about what I would do if I went into labor on I 66.”
