With the amendment’s certification, the General Assembly is now authorized to move forward with the redistricting process. Proponents argue this temporary measure allows Virginia to remain competitive and ensures legislative control over representation, while critics continue to voice concerns over the return to a system they claim favors political incumbents.

Under the redrawn boundaries, U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D) will now represent the new 8th Congressional District, which will include Alexandria and extend south about 100 miles along the Potomac River, according to the Washington Post. It will also include Northern Neck and Williamsburg.

On Aug. 4, Beyer will face Michael Duffin, Adam Dunigan, Frank Fereira, Daniel Gray, and Mo Seifeldein in the Democratic Primary.

In addition, Heerak Christian Kim, Luke Nathan Phillips and Tony Sabio will be competing in the Aug. 4 Republican Party primary to determine who will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Voters living in the northern portion of Arlington will be in the expanded 7th Congressional District, which extends west to the Shenandoah mountains and includes Annandale, Burke, Harrisonburg, Culpeper, and Orange.

The Democrats in the race are JP Cooney, Elizabeth Guzman, Dan Helmer, David R Kennedy, Dorothy McAuliffe, Adele McClure, Matthew G Rainforth, Saddam Azlan Salim, Joseph Schiarizzi, Jonathan Schmeelk, Alex Thymmons, Olivia Troye, and Eugene Vindman.
