From PilotOnline.com:
On Saturday, a few thousand Republicans living in the eastern half of the city will most likely choose Virginia’s newest state senator.
Retired businessman Jeff McWaters and Councilwoman Rosemary Wilson, both Republicans, are battling to fill the seat state Sen. Kenneth Stolle vacated. Stolle was elected Virginia Beach sheriff earlier this month.
The campaign has turned increasingly negative, with both candidates seeking to burnish their conservative credentials while trying to poke holes in each others’. No Democrats have announced plans to challenge the winner. The 8th Senate District is regarded as strongly Republican.
