Virginia Rep. Wexton gave campaign donation linked to Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax to charity
By Jenna Portnoy Jenna Portnoy Reporter covering Virginia, Maryland and D.C. congressional delegations Email Bio Follow February 28 at 12:11 PM Of the seven Virginia Democrats in the U.S. House who called on Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax to resign in the face of sexual assault allegations, only Rep. Jennifer Wexton has responded to questions about campaign cash she received from Fairfax, saying she donated the money to a charity.
Warner, who said Fairfax should resign “if” the allegations against him are accurate, and Kaine, who unequivocally called for Fairfax to leave office, both said through spokeswomen that they have no plans to donate or return the donations. Fairfax donated $250 to Wexton’s campaign last year, shortly before she unseated Republican congresswoman Barbara Comstock.
During the campaign, Wexton called on Comstock to return donations linked to Republican congressman Patrick Meehan of Pennsylvania after it was revealed he settled a harassment claim with a much younger aide. Fairfax gave Scott, Wexton, Luria, Spanberger and Reps. Don Beyer and Donald McEachin each $250, in October of 2018, when they were all on the ballot.
“I believe Dr. Vanessa Tyson. I believe Meredith Watson. And I believe Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax must resign,’ she wrote.
