I hope the primary here in Virginia for AG isn't too brutal. Luckily as the out party we can afford it better than we could were we the incumbent party.

The race dynamics will be some type of outsider vs insider; hopefully not overly negative(wonder if any other viable candidate runs?)

Yes and no. Jones served in the Virginia House of Delegates. Taylor is the incumbent Commonwealth's Attorney of Henrico (pronounced Hen-Rike-Co) County outside Richmond. The contrast between them will be age (Taylor is 57), gender, and region. With Abigail Spanberger at the top of the ticket, there will be more pressure to pick someone not from Greater Richmond. Jones has the edge there.
