Voters in Northern Virginia will pass judgment on a trio of progressive prosecutors in Democratic primaries on Tuesday — part of a flood of district attorney elections over the next two years in some of the nation’s most populous counties.

All together, the counties cover nearly 2 million residents: Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano faces trial lawyer Ed Nuttall, who gained prominence representing police officers in big cases; Loudoun’s Buta Biberaj is running against attorney and former public defender Elizabeth Lancaster; and Arlington’s Parisa Dehghani-Tafti is facing a former subordinate from her own office, Josh Katcher.
Katcher, a former prosecutor in the office under Dehghani-Tafti and the previous commonwealth's attorney she defeated in 2019, has said he broadly agrees with Dehghani-Tafti’s motives on reforming the criminal justice system but argues that she hasn’t run the Arlington office well enough to carry out her goals.
“If someone asks if I’m the ‘law and order’ candidate, I say, no, I’m not that guy,” Katcher said. “I can talk fluently about that as a reformer.”
