Democrats Ralph Northam and Mark Herring won primary elections Tuesday for a spot on the statewide ticket under gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.

Northam is the nominee for lieutenant governor, and Herring will run for attorney general.

Northam won Suffolk votes handily over challenger Aneesh Chopra.

But Herring’s opponent, Justin Fairfax, had a big showing in Suffolk, winning more than 66 percent of the vote despite losing the state overall.
