Virginia Democratic state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi won a six-way primary on Wednesday to become the party’s nominee for lieutenant governor, the end to a two-day contest in which Hashmi narrowly defeated her top competitor by less than 1%.

State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi has secured the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, becoming the first Muslim and first Indian American nominated for a statewide office in Virginia.

Richmond-based state Senator Ghazala Hashmi declared victory in Virginia’s Democratic lieutenant governor primary Tuesday night, although the official results of the six-way contest are yet to be determined.
