The commonwealth’s D.C. suburbs have taken a decisive step away from the region’s more centrist past.
Some of the differences between candidates were more stylistic than ideological. In the state Senate races in particular, deeper community ties may have boosted the challengers after a court-supervised redistricting process scrambled election maps and put incumbents in largely unfamiliar territory.
“You can get Democrats you can rely on,” he added, rather than unpredictable representatives who “are going to vote one way or another depending on what day it is.” Descended from men who fought for the Confederacy as well as a woman who pushed for school integration, Petersen marched to his own drummer since he was first elected to the Senate in 2007, liberal on some issues, conservative on others.
“Reopening the schools and ending the mask mandate were probably my two biggest achievements,” he said. “I’ll let history be the judge if it was the right thing to do. But I wouldn’t change it.”“He became more and more conservative and more apart from my views,” said Judy Fisher, a retired teacher and gun-control activist who said she had long been hoping for a challenger to Petersen.
