A Republican won a deep-blue Northern Virginia county-level seat in a major upset Tuesday after revelations that her Democratic opponent made racist social media posts more than 10 years ago.
Republican Jeannie LaCroix, 64, won a special election for a Prince William County Board of Supervisors seat, defeating Democratic nominee Muhammed Sufiyan Casim, 36, a Muslim Pakistani immigrant, who in the 2010s made a series of online posts containing racist, misogynist and antisemitic content, Potomac Local News reported.
