About
Virginia is a state in the United States currently in the news due to two major events. First, voters approved new congressional maps intended to give Democrats an advantage in retaking the House of Representatives, seen as a blow to Donald Trump's redistricting efforts. This redistricting referendum was the most expensive in Virginia's history and is considered a critical step for the swing state. Secondly, former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax killed his wife, Cerina Fairfax, in a murder-suicide. The incident occurred amidst an ongoing domestic dispute and involved the use of a firearm. Both were found dead at their home in Annandale, Virginia, leaving behind their teenage children. The events have shocked the political and dental communities, respectively, and highlight ongoing political tensions and the tragedy of domestic violence.
