These competencies are critical for effectively fulfilling ceremonial, legislative, and executive duties while representing the interests and well-being of the state.

How do you become a lieutenant governor?

To become a lieutenant governor, candidates typically need to meet age and residency requirements, run in a statewide election, and often have prior political or public service experience. The specific process varies by jurisdiction but generally involves campaigning, securing party nomination, and winning the general election.

Summary of this article

Indian-American Democrat Ghazal Hashmi won Virginia lieutenant governor's race on Tuesday.

Hashmi entered politics in 2019 and was elected to the Virginia General Assembly.

Born in Hyderabad in 1964, she emigrated to the US when she was four.

Indian-American Democrat Ghazal Hashmi won Virginia lieutenant governor's race on Tuesday, defeating Republican John Reid. She became the first Indian-American and first Muslim candidate to win statewide office in Virginia.

Hashmi entered politics in 2019 and was elected to the Virginia General Assembly. In 2024, she was named Chair of the Senate Education and Health Committee, a critical leadership post for two critical Democratic priorities, reproductive freedom and public education.

Hashmi will now preside over the Virginia state senate where Democrats hold a slim 21-19 majority. As the Lieutenant Governor, she will vote when there is a tie in the senate. Her victory also means that her seat will have to be filled in a special election.

Born in Hyderabad in 1964, she emigrated to the US when she was four. She earned a BA with honors from Georgia Southern University and PhD in American literature from Emory University in Atlanta. She later moved to the Richmond area with her husband in 1991.

Along with her, former congresswoman Abigail Spanberger defeated Republican lieutenant governor Winsome Earle-Sears. Virginia was one of two states, along with New Jersey, where voters were picking a governor on Tuesday.
