McEachin, Irving win re-election as Richmond's top prosecutor, city sheriff
Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Colette McEachin and City Sheriff Antionette Irving won re-election Tuesday night, both defeating repeat primary challengers in similar fashion to 2021.
McEachin and Irving will each run unopposed in the Nov. 4 general election, as the city’s elections office told VPM News no other candidates filed to run.
Unofficial results show McEachin with more than 71% of the vote as of 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, delivering her a comfortable win over local attorney Tom Barbour. McEachin defeated Barbour in a 2021 primary with just over 73% of the vote. (All election results are unofficial until certified by the state.)
Barbour told VPM News he called McEachin Tuesday night to concede the race. McEachin did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
