Grateful for Giving Volunteers at Loudoun Hunger Relief pack bags for local families ahead of Thanksgiving. In the past week, the organization has provided meals to more than 500 families thanks to donations from individuals and businesses that stocked the food pantry with about 2,000 bags of food. Loudoun Hunger Relief missed out on donations usually drummed up at its annual Freeze Your Gizzard run, which was canceled Saturday because of soggy conditions. Executive Director Jennifer Montgomery said donations are welcome to “get food into the hands of those who need it.” Donate to help your neighbors in need at loudounhunger.org.

Boysko, May to Face Off for Senate Seat BY RENSS GREENE A current and former member of the House of Delegates will compete to fill the seat vacated by state Senator Jennifer T. Wexton (D-33) in a special election Jan. 8. Del. Jennifer B. Boysko (D-86) and former delegate Joe T. May will vie for the 33rd District seat in the state senate. Democrats in the district held a well-attended firehouse primary Saturday, seeing 2,644 votes cast at four polling sites. Boysko (D-86) captured 82 percent of the ballots cast with 2,174 votes. “This is a testament to you all, to the progressive message that we have all shared together, because we are moving things in this part of the country like you’ve never seen,” Boysko said at a celebration in Ashburn. “So many of us have been inspired, have been frustrated, have been horrified by what we see on the national level, and it’s brought us all out of our homes.”

Boysko entered the weeklong primary race with the endorsement of the Congresswoman-elect she seeks to replace, along with endorsements from Gov. Ralph Northam, Attorney General Mark Herring, all six members of the House of Delegates whose districts overlap with the 33rdSenate District, and local officials including Loudoun County Supervisor Kristen C. Umstattd (D-Leesburg) and Town of Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk. Boysko, a Herndon resident, is in her first term in the General Assembly, having assumed office in 2016. Her voting record in the House of Delegates has won her high ratings or awards from the Sierra Club, the League of Conservation Voters, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia, the Humane Society, and the Virginia Education Association. Last week she said if elected she expects to be much the same legislator in the senate. 33RD DISTRICT >> 38
