The author's sources primarily include quotes from Northam, unnamed Virginia legislators, and political observers. Northam was the primary source the author used in the article. Since Northam holds the highest political office in Virginia, the author used the governor as a consistent source throughout the article, although increasing controversy is building around Fairfax, who is accused of sexually assaulting two women.
The attributions are scattered throughout the story and are not really clustered in any section of the article. The sources are typically from people, specifically individuals involved with lawmaking in Virginia politics or political analysts.
