Ralph Northam at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond. Some 1,500 Virginia Military cadets marched by as did an army of Appalachian fiddlers and a world champion oyster shucker in a sparkly tiara. Caption Democrat Ralph Northam was sworn in at noon Saturday on the portico of the Virginia State Capitol. He is only the second VMI graduate to become Virginia governor, exactly 100 years after the first, Democrat Westmoreland Davis. He is only the second Virginia governor from that region.
