Lost in the shuffle of the political discourse surrounding the first few days of the 119th Congress, the vote for House speaker, and President-elect Donald Trump touting the idea of purchasing Greenland, a special election was held in Virginia on Tuesday for three seats in the state legislature. Two of the elections were for seats in Virginia’s Senate, and the other was for a seat in the House of Delegates.

Democrat JJ Singh defeated Republican Ram Venkatachalam in the election for the House’s 26th District. With over 95% of the votes counted, Singh led Venkatachalam 61.6% to 38.4%, according to the New York Times. Singh’s victory ensured the party would control the state House, giving the Democrats a slim lead over the GOP, 51-49.
