RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Danny Avula appears set to be Richmond's next mayor as he seems to have secured enough districts to win the city's mayoral race, unofficial results show. To win the city’s mayoral race, a candidate needs a majority of the votes in at least five of the city’s nine voter districts. Avula leads in six of the nine districts -- 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th -- with all precincts reporting. Michelle Mosby leads in the other three districts, unofficial results show. Avula leads Mosby by more than 20,000 in total votes, as of 12:45 a.m. Wednesday. Dr. Avula, a 46-year-old pediatrician at Chippenham Hospital who was the director of the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts, led Virginia’s COVID-19 vaccination effort in 2021 and ran the state’s Department of Social Services. All election results are unofficial until certified. This story is breaking. Stay with 8News for updates.
