Voters in Alexandria will have the opportunity to cast their ballots in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. The primary will determine the Democratic nominees for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General who will appear on the ballot in the November general election.
In the June primary, Democrats are the only party with a competitive primary ballot, with choices between six candidates for lieutenant governor and two candidates for attorney general. Republicans have already settled on presumptive nominees for both positions, including incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares, and both parties only have one candidate each running for governor.
