Every 4 years in Virginia, there is an election to vote for the head Commonwealth Attorney in each county throughout Virginia. This year, there is a fight in Fairfax County for the Commonwealth Attorney position. The primary opened up for early voting May 5, 2023 and the primary itself is on June 20, 2023 which is your last day to get out to vote. This year there are two candidates running for Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney: the incumbent/current Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano and his challenger Ed Nuttall. Both are running in the Democrat Primary June 20, 2023 to try to gain the Democrat Nomination and only one of them will be able to run in the election on November 3, 2023. There is no Republican candidate so unless someone runs as an Independent one of these two men will be voted in as Commonwealth Attorney in Fairfax. We invited both of them onto the show but never received a response from Mr. Descano or his team. We did get a chance to ask Mr. Nuttall about why he is running, what he would change, and how he would do things differently.
