It's Official: Now It's Congressman Don Beyer

Don Beyer was sworn in today to the 114th Congress, where he will represent Virginia’s 8th congressional District, a seat previously occupied for many years by Jim Moran.

Congressman Beyer was sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives by House Speaker John Boehner.

Beyer is an auto dealer in the area and a former lieutenant governor of Virginia. He won a very crowded Democratic primary and easily glided to victory in November.

Beyer appeared on C-SPAN this morning, on a very snowy day across the region and on Capitol Hill.

Beyer’s office is located at 431 Cannon House Office Building. The phone number is (202) 225-4376.
