1 VIRGINIA 2016 VOTER GUIDE A YALLA VOTE 2016 STATE VOTER GUIDE

2 2016 AAI virginia Voter Guide OVERVIEW Virginians this November will be voting for the President of the United States, seats in the House of Representatives and other local races. The Arab American community in Virginia is diverse and growing. The commonwealth is home to the eleventh largest population of Arab Americans in the country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, between 2000 and 2014, the number of Virginians with Arabic-speaking ancestry grew by 90%. Arab Americans in Virginia reside in 101 of the 133 counties in the state, with the greatest number living in Fairfax County. The largest component of the Arab American community in the state has Lebanese or Egyptian roots. Since 2005, significant increases appear in the number of Virginians who are of Iraqi or Jordanian descent. In 2010, Virginia legislators redrew congressional lines in accordance with the 2010 U.S. Census. Three Republican Congressmen -- Rep. Randy Forbes, Rep. Rob Wittman, Rep. David Bratt -- challenged the redistricting plan in the case of Wittman v. Personhuballah. In May of 2016, the Supreme Court ruled that Forbes, Wittman, and Bratt lacked the standing to bring their case because neither of the Congressmen would be directly affected in primary elections. Following the ruling, Rep. Forbes decided to run in the Republican primary of Virginia s 2nd District instead of the district he currently represents, Virginia s 4th. The 2010 redistricting plan included more African American voters in District 4. According to Justice Stephen Breyer, Rep. arab american DEMOGRAPHICS AAI ESTIMATE 169,587 state rank 11 Arab Americans in Virginia reside in 101 of the 133 counties in the state. Forbes seat transformed from a safe seat to into a seat he s probably going to lose. In Virginia s June 14th primary, Rep. Forbes indeed ended up losing his seat and his candidacy for Congress in Virginia s 2nd District to Republican Scott Taylor. The November ballot for Virginia s 2nd District will include Taylor and Democrat Shaun Brown. Forbes current seat will be contested by Republican Mike Wade and Democrat Donald McEachin. Virginians will not have to vote in any gubernatorial or senatorial races this election year. The next gubernatorial election will be in Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe will not be eligible for reelection, as Virginia is the only state that does not allow governors to run for consecutive terms. Democratic Senator Timothy Kaine, who will otherwise be up for reelection in 2018, was selected as the Democratic Vice Presidential running mate by Hillary Clinton. Democratic Senator Mark Warner will be up for reelection in population by county (2013) Fairfax County 29,611 Prince William County 4,542 Alexandria City 4,224 Henrico County 4,192 Loudon County 4,069 *Research by AAI and Zogby International suggest that the number above is likely significantly lower than the actual number o f Arab Americans in the state. The American Community Survey identifies only a portion of the Arab population through a question on ancestry. Reasons for the undercount include the placement of and limit of the ancestry question (as distinct from race and ethnicity); the effect of the sample methodology o n small, unevenly distributed ethnic groups; high levels of out-marriage among the third and fourth generations; and distrust/misunderstanding of government surveys among recent immigrants.
