NEW this AM: Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has quietly donated nearly six figures worth of political contributions in the past two months to 13 Democrat legislative candidates including four incumbents who had called for his resignation.

Delegate John Bell, who called for Northam's resignation shortly after the yearbook photos emerged, took a $15,000 contribution from @RalphNortham's PAC on May 30th.
.@DelegateFowler said "resignation is the only option" for Northam. She received a $5,000 donation from his PAC on May 21st.
Schuyler VanValkenburg, who flipped a Republican held district in 2017, said Northam "no longer has the consent of the governed" after his scandals. @VVforDelegate took a $5,000 contribution from Northam's PAC on May 21st.
Two Democrat challengers to Republican-held House of Delegates districts also received contributions from Northam's The Way Ahead PAC.
Karen Mallard, running in one of the most competitive House of Delegates districts, said the photo of Northam "expressing racial oppression and white supremacy is intolerable." She accepted a $5k donation from Northam on May 1st.
Larry Barnett, who barely lost a race in 2017 for Virginia's HD-27 and is running again in 2019, also called for Northam to resign earlier this year and then turned around and took a 5k check from him in May.
