AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Virginia's state legislative special elections

Virginia voters will begin the new year filling state Senate and House vacancies on Tuesday in a trio of special elections that could determine control of the narrowly divided chambers. In Loudoun County, Democratic state Sen. Suhas Subramanyam was elected to Congress in November, triggering a special election for his state Senate District 32 seat. The nominees are Democratic state Del. Kannan Srinivasan and Republican Tumay Harding. Running to replace Srinivasan in state House District 26 are Democrat JJ Singh and Republican Ram Venkatachalam. In state Senate District 10 outside of Richmond, voters will replace Republican state Sen. John McGuire.
