Democrat Jill McCabe, a pediatric doctor and medical professional, announced Thursday she will challenge incumbent state Sen. Dick Black in Virginia's 13th District.
McCabe, who has worked at Inova Hospital since 2006 and formerly chaired the Department of Pediatrics, is making her first bid for public office.
A Democrat who had previously announced a candidacy for the Senate's 13th District, Tom Mulrine, is stepping aside for McCabe to swiftly become the nominee.
"I'm running for Senate because I am inspired by the idea of making a greater impact in our community," McCabe, who also chairs the Loudoun Country Day School Board of Trustees, said in a statement. "Healthcare, public policy and business are intersecting now more than ever. I believe that my experience as a health professional, a working mother and an education leader have helped prepare me to tackle the challenges facing the Commonwealth today. From affordable healthcare to full-day kindergarten, we have a responsibility to give our children the very best Virginia has to offer."
The 13th District covers portions of eastern Loudoun and Prince William counties.
Why is Democrat Candidate Jill McCabe Hiding?
Dr. Jill McCabe, Democrat candidate for the Virginia Senate in the 13th district, recently got a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood because of her pledge to fight against oversight or additional regulations of abortion clinics.
Oversight and investigations are clearly needed in the wake of the Planned Parenthood scandal which has uncovered the common and illegal practice of selling baby body parts.
The third Planned Parenthood video was released this week showing an aborted baby while Planned Parenthood doctors discussed how much money they could get for his various baby parts. I won’t post that video here because I cannot bear to watch it again but you can view ithere.
Jill McCabe released a statement to the press indicating her strong support of Planned Parenthood, despite the Planned Parenthood scandal rocking the country. In a recent interview McCabe said she supports the practices of Planned Parenthood:
“I’m a doctor, and I take care of patients, including women,” McCabe said when asked whether she still welcomes Planned Parenthood’s support. “Women need health care choices and Planned Parenthood provides that. That’s kind of the end of it for me.”
Planned Parenthood has endorsed Dr. Jill McCabe
Dr. McCabe has hidden herself from the public throughout this campaign. She won’t tell the public on her Facebook page or Twitter feed where or how they can meet the candidate. There is no way to reach the candidate. During the rare appearances by Jill McCabe, her campaign staff act more like body guards, standing as a buffer between Jill and the public. One staff member will stay with her and the other will wade into the crowd to find friendly faces and lead them back to the candidate so they can hold court with the queen….oh, I mean candidate. However, only those who have been properly vetted by the staff members can speak to Jill McCabe. Even her website shows no way to contact her. All of McCabe’s events are private and by invitation only. The public is not welcome, ever.

Dr. Jill McCabe is the Democrat seeking to unseat Sen. Dick Black in the 13th district. This is her first run for office and her elevator pitch is rather standard fare.
Yes, it’s a rich tapestry. But inside the good Doctor’s fundraising totals were a few donations — totaling $5,500 — that raise eyebrows.
The donations come from the Marquardt family of Utah. Never heard of them? They own and operate something called Management Training Corporation (MTC), a company that operates private prisons under government contracts and “claims to be the third-largest private prison operator in the country.”
Fair enough.
But MTC and the prisons it oversees have had a number of problems, some of which have resulted in investigations of sexual abuse of prisoners, poor living conditions, and poor health care for detainees.
