Why do Democrats hold primaries while Republicans increasingly opt for conventions? We get answers from David Ramadan, a former Republican Delegate from Loudoun County now with the Schar School of Public Policy at George Mason University. We also interview Trevor Southerland, former Executive Director of the House Democratic Caucus.

We dissect the decision by the Republican Party of Virginia to hold a convention and what that means for Amanda Chase's gubernatorial prospects. What other Republicans might run and how did past conventions play out? Find out on this episode of Transition Virginia.
