Buta Biberaj, a Virginia prosecutor backed by billionaire activist George Soros, has lost her bid for re-election as the Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney

Buta Biberaj, a prosecutor in Virginia’s Loudoun County who received massive backing from billionaire activist George Soros, has lost her bid for re-election as county attorney and will be replaced by a Republican.

Ms. Biberaj, the Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney, lost by around 300 votes to Republican Bob Anderson in last week’s election, according to unofficial results announced on Nov. 14.

Mr. Anderson, who previously served in the position from 1996 to 2003, received 68,068 votes to Ms. Biberaj’s 67,768, according to the tally.

Ms. Biberaj, who has been accused of anti-conservative bias, has conceded the race and is opting not to push for a recount.

“This has been the closest Commonwealth’s Attorney’s race in Loudoun County’s history,” she said at a press conference on Nov. 15. “Even though this race is within the margin for a recount, I have decided I will not pursue one in order to conserve the taxpayers’ funds as well as to expand the transition period to better serve the people of Loudoun County.”

Since 2019, Ms. Biberaj has been backed by Mr. Soros to the tune of roughly $1 million, per Fox 5 DC.

Mr. Anderson said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he had received a “gracious” concession call from Ms. Biberaj.

“I am ready to get to work restoring transparency to the office and to deliver on my promise to protect our community from violent crime,” he wrote.

Controversy

A spokesperson for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, issued a statement congratulating Mr. Anderson while criticizing Ms. Biberaj as a “politically motivated prosecutor who put criminals over victims and refused to prosecute certain misdemeanor crimes while going after parents like Scott Smith.”

Mr. Smith is the father of a 15-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by a 14-year-old transgender boy in the girls’ bathroom at Stone Bridge High School.
