(Loudoun County, Virginia, November 10, 2024) – Former House of Delegates candidate and local Eastern Loudoun community leader, Rafi Khaja, announced today that he will be seeking the GOP nomination in the firehouse primary to be held next Saturday.
“As we witnessed in this past week’s election results, our country, and Loudoun County specifically, is ready for new ideas and to move away from the problems created by the present Democratic Party and their far left agenda,” stated Khaja. “We showed that the American Dream transcends political divides. We share a common vision for better schools, safer streets, a growing economy and stronger families. Governor Youngkin has demonstrated how to lead the Commonwealth of Virginia in this direction and he needs a State Senate that will work with him to achieve this vision.”
The Virginia State Senate currently consists of 21 Democrats and 19 Republicans. By flipping the 32nd District to the Republican column, tied votes would be decided by Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears in her role as President of the Senate.
Khaja’s life story exemplifies the American Dream. After immigrating from India, he established a successful career in the.technology industry. As a father of three living in Ashburn, he understands the challenges and hopes of every family in Loudoun County.
“I will bring fresh and practical new ideas to Richmond that impact the lives of Loudoun families every day”, added Khaja. “I believe those living next to data centers should receive a monthly or yearly dividend for baring the burden of lower home and land values. The Dulles Greenway should not be charging full cost for traveling just a few short exits. Let’s allow local residents to get three local tolls at no charge. This will alleviate traffic in our local neighborhoods.”
“And most importantly, we need safer neighborhoods to protect our families and children, especially our girls. We need a state funded Gang Task Force to stop these gangs that are preying on our young people with drugs and sex trafficking. Plus we need to protect our girls once and for all by banning biological males from our school bathrooms, locker rooms and playing on girls sport teams.” stated Khaja.
“Together, we will build bridges, not just campaigns. Today, I’m inviting every resident of District 32 to join a movement that values people over politics and solutions over division.”
