Bob Anderson emerges victorious in Loudoun County Commonwealth's Attorney race, defeating Buta Biberaj

Republican Bob Anderson narrowly defeated Democrat Buta Biberaj in the race for Loudoun County's top prosecutor, marking a rare victory for Republicans in Northern Virginia. Biberaj, who pledged to reduce incarceration and focus on violent crimes, conceded after Anderson received 300 more votes. Anderson, who previously held the office from 1996 to 2003, campaigned on prosecuting more crimes and running an apolitical office. Biberaj's management style and controversial handling of cases drew criticism, while Anderson's victory was seen as a bright spot for Republicans in a largely Democratic election season.
