Virginia Sen. L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth), the state’s self-described “Casino Queen,” has been indicted on federal drug trafficking and money laundering charges. Lucas helped bring commercial casinos to the Commonwealth, including one in her hometown of Portsmouth, by leading legislation in 2020 to permit slot machines and table games in certain cities. But in recent years, federal prosecutors allege that the 82-year-old Senate president pro tempore led a criminal enterprise.
