David W. Marsden, Democrat, who just won re-election to the position of Delegate in the 41st House District, has made it official: he is running for the 37th Senate District seat vacated by Republican Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, who won the slot of Commonwealth's Attorney General in the recent November election. The election will be Tuesday 12 January 2010.
Marsden has hit the ground running. Much of his staff is already in place, and he has lined up two field offices already to cover the sprawling 37th District, which runs diagonally across Fairfax County from West Springfield northwest through Chantilly and Centreville to the edge of Manassas Battlefield, but is basically centered in Burke with US Route 50 as its northern boundary and Clifton on its southern. Many residents of the 37th Senate District know Dave and have already voted for him, since 10 of the 14 precincts of the Senate 37th District are in both the 37th and his House 41st Districts, and about 30 percent of the residents of the Senate District are also in his House District. Marsden has served in the Assembly for four years as the Delegate from Burke, that is, the 41st District. In the 2009 Republican landslide, Dave won with 49.66 percent of the vote, beating Republican Kerry Bolognese (48.66 percent) and Independent Green C. Monique Berry (3.49 percent).
