Although trailing across the state after Saturday’s caucuses, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gerald L. Battles won the battle for Loudoun County delegates Saturday.
Battles, the state’s attorney general, won 23 of the 32 delegates elected at the party’s mass meeting, held at Loudoun County High School.
Lt. Gov. Richard J. Davis, Battles’ opponent for the nomination, got the other nine.
Davis led Battles after Saturday’s meetings around the state, but the attorney general was expected to pick up ground during caucuses Monday night. Delegates elected at the caucuses will choose the party’s nominees at the State Democratic Convention June 7-8 in Richmond.

Democratic Committee Chairman Susan-Jane Stack said she was pleased that 255 persons attended the caucus.
