Virginia GOP Election Results: Dems Await To Learn Their Opponents

VIRGINIA — Two Democratic incumbents in Virginia in competitive congressional districts are awaiting to see who their Republican challengers will be.

Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-7th) has served in Congress since 2019 and is running unopposed in the Democratic primary.

Six Republican candidates are vying on Tuesday to run against her in the general election in November. The GOP candidates are Derrick Anderson, Gina Ciarcia, Bryce Reeves, David Ross, Crystal Vanuch and Yesli Vega.

Rep. Elaine Luria (D-2nd) also has served since 2019 and is running unopposed in the Democratic primary.

Four Republicans are on the ballot, fighting for the right to face Luria in November. The GOP candidates seeking the nomination in Tuesday's primary are Jen Kiggans, Jarome Bell, Andy Baan and L. Tommy Altman.

In Virginia's 10th congressional district, retired U.S. Navy Capt. Hung Cao won an 11-way party-run firehouse primary in May that used ranked-choice voting. Cao will face incumbent Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D) in the general election in November.

Republicans are hopeful they can flip the 10th congressional district back to the GOP, after Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin lost the redistricted 10th by less than two percentage points. Frank Wolf (R) represented the 10th congressional district from 1981 to 2015 and Barbara Comstock (R) represented the district from 2015 to 2019.

An acceptable form of identification is required to vote in person in Virginia, but it does not have to be a photo ID. Examples of accepted ID include a Virginia driver's license or ID, current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document with the voter's name and address.

In Virginia, polls opened Tuesday at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Most voting sites will also have drop boxes for sealed absentee ballots.
