Democrat and political newcomer Jewan "Jack" Tiwari today announced a challenge to incumbent Del. David Ramadan (R) in Virginia's 87th District, one of the most competitive seats in the state since redistricting in 2010.

A Realtor, Tiwari is also founder of Social Servants, a nonprofit that conducts informational, educational and humanitarian programs and president of the America-Nepal Society, according to his announcement.

Similar to several other local Democratic candidates for November's election, Tiwari quickly listed education as a focal point of his campaign.

Our schools are overcrowded, Loudoun has still not instituted full day kindergarten, and teacher pay is still below the national average," he said in a prepared statement. "We need to prioritize education in the General Assembly, particularly early childhood education.

Virginia's 87th District covers portions of Loudoun and Prince William counties, including Ashburn, Chantilly, Haymarket, Sterling and South Riding.

In 2013, Ramadan defeated Democrat John Bell by 187 votes out of more than 20,000 cast.
