Suhas Subramanyum looks to jump from Richmond to Capitol Hill
Voters in Virginia's 10th district will send someone new to the House of Representatives on Election Day. For State Sen. Suhas Subramanyum, he's hoping he'll be the choice. Subramanyum, who emerged victorious after a crowded Democratic primary, was bolstered by the endorsement of the seat's current occupant, the retiring Rep. Jennifer Wexton, and will face Republican challenge Mike Clancy. He talks with Jim Lokay on "The Final 5" about the issues in the race.
Subramanyam was Wexton’s pick. He’s a member of the Virginia State Senate, representing District 32. His current term ends on Jan. 12, 2028.
