Virginia Democratic Party denies Justin Fairfax a table at June fundraising gala
He’s facing two public allegations of sexual assault, insists he is innocent and has been charged with no crime. Should Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax be allowed to purchase a table at his party’s big June fundraiser?

After Fairfax’s team told the party his PAC wanted to make a $2,500 donation to reserve a table at the Blue Commonwealth Gala, the party responded that it would not accept the donation. Fairfax issued a statement Tuesday slamming the state party, saying he had planned to bring a group of African-American pastors to the June 15 event in Richmond.
