Ramin Fatehi

[2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement] Roster verified: Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney (elected, partisan D). Second term 1/1/2026-12/31/2029 — NOT on Nov 2026 ballot. HARD adverse sanctity_of_life q0+q1 evidence: Fatehi is a confirmed co-signatory of the Sept 2022 Fair and Just Prosecution joint statement of 85 elected prosecutors refusing to prosecute abortion-related conduct. Direct quote on 13NewsNow: 'As the Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Norfolk, our chief minister of justice, I will never prosecute a person who seeks or has an abortion that would have been legal under Roe… what is right has not changed.' That is categorical declination of any future VA abortion restrictions — clears the rubric bar for FALSE on both the public-profession cell and the affirmative-CA-action cell. HARD adverse biblical_marriage q2 evidence: his office publicly committed to mandatory 'LGBTQ+ sensitivity' training for all prosecutors and explicitly markets itself as 'a welcome place for… members of the LGBTQ+ community' (fatehinorfolk.com/priorities) — adverse on the biological-sex/trans-policy cell. HARD adverse public_justice q1 evidence: as deputy CA under Greg Underwood he was primary author of Norfolk's 2019 policy 'rejecting cash bail as a tool for prosecution, instructing all Norfolk prosecutors to cease demanding cash bail'; his stated legislative priority is to 'lobby to end all cash bail in Virginia,' quoted 'Nobody should have to pay their way out of jail.' Affirmative cash-bail-reform advocacy — adverse to the rubric's pretrial-detention cell. HARD adverse public_justice q3 evidence: per The Appeal post-election coverage, Fatehi 'says crime is a symptom of structural racism' and his campaign site centers root-causes/public-health framing — literal embrace of the public-health-of-violence framing the rubric scores against. HARD adverse border_immigration q1 evidence: Fatehi co-founded the 2025-26 'FAFO' (Fight Against Federal Overreach) coalition with Larry Krasner and others, publicly vowing to prosecute federal ICE/CBP agents who violate VA law — quote: 'Just because you have a gun and a badge issued by a particular agency does not make you immune to prosecution for crimes under the Virginia code.' Active anti-ICE-cooperation posture; Norfolk on CIS sanctuary-jurisdictions map. HARD adverse self_defense q0 evidence: in 13NewsNow/NRA-ILA/Bearing Arms coverage of the March 2026 Old Dominion University terror attack, Fatehi blamed gun-rights advocacy rather than the foreign-born felon perpetrator: 'Americans care more about guns than children… until there is the political will to break the spell of the cult of gun absolutism, you will see more incidents like this.' When given a Fox News opportunity to walk back, he said: 'I absolutely stand by what I said. It is the truth, no matter how much the gun lobby wants to deny it.' Categorical opposition to the local 2A protection cell. NO EVIDENCE FOUND on biblical_marriage q0 (no natural-marriage statement) or q4 (no Pride-proclamation signing located — his is a CA office, not a council vote; pattern is LGBTQ-affirmative but no specific scoreable signed proclamation, leave null per skill discipline), family_child_sovereignty (any cell — out of CA's lane; no library-content prosecution or declination policy located), christian_liberty (any cell — no church affiliation, no profession of Christ, no public-square symbol/prayer advocacy, no pastor-conscience advocacy located), economic_stewardship (CA office has no BBA-style framing in scope; his legislative priorities include funding more prosecutors and public defenders, NOT a restraint posture, but this does not earn an affirmative TRUE on q2 either), election_integrity q0/q1/q4 (his felon-voting-rights restoration advocacy is soft adverse signal but not a direct cell match — left null), public_justice q2 (restorative-justice diversion is offered but no restitution-first framing located) and q4 (no Romans-13 framing), refuse_state_overreach q0-q4 (FAFO is anti-federal-overreach NOT in the rubric's subsidiarity sense — he aggressively asserts local prosecutorial authority in service of progressive ends rather than refusing state COVID/ESG/lockdown directives), border_immigration q2 (no explicit declination policy on immigration-related state crimes located beyond FJP membership and FAFO posture), self_defense q1 (office prioritizes 'illegal gun possession' prosecutions; no pro-CCW or firearms-in-buildings protection located). Counter-archetype context: NONE — textbook Soros-network / Fair and Just Prosecution / Real Justice PAC progressive prosecutor, no breaks from pattern.
