Updated as of 8:15

• AP has called the VA 8 primary for Don Beyer
• AP has called the GOP Senate primary for Bert Mizusawa

Representative Don Beyer has won his primary, defeating a field of challengers. He will face Republican Tony Sabio in November.

Beyer, who was first elected to Congress in 2014, served two terms as Virginia’s lieutenant governor in the 1990s, was his party’s nominee for governor in 1997 and later served as President Barack Obama’s ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

He campaigned as a tested leader, touting his work to protect federal workers, promote clean energy and regulate artificial intelligence. He had the support of Virginia’s Democratic political establishment and Democratic-aligned interest groups, while facing opponents who pitched themselves as anti-establishment, generational change agents.

Beyer was challenged by Mo Seifeldein, Adam Dunigan, Michael Duffin and Lorena Bruner. All but Bruner are former federal workers who were either laid off due to Trump administration budget cuts or who say they resigned in protest at Trump policies

In the end, Seifeldein put up the most robust challenge to the incumbent, taking nearly 19 percent of the vote as of 8:15 p.m.

Bert Mizusawa won the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic Senator Mark Warner in November, defeating David Williams and Kim Farrington.

Polls have officially closed across Virginia and election officials are tabulating ballots cast in Tuesday's primary election.

Results from races across the state are expected to be reported throughout the evening. Some contests are likely to be decided quickly, while others could take longer to call.

Patch is following key races in Virginia, including those for U.S. Congressional Districts 7, 8, 10 and 11. Check back throughout the night for the latest vote totals in races, election-night developments and race calls.

Results for all races are available on the Virginia Department of Elections website.

Preliminary vote tallies are as follows. The tables below will continue updating in real time as the state releases new vote tallies.

Member, House of Representatives (8th District)

Democratic primary

On the Republican side, Tony Sabio has already been named the party’s nominee.

US Senate, Republican Primary

On the Democratic side, incumbent Senator Mark Warner has already secured his party's nomination.

By a slim margin, Virginians voted in April to approve a referendum that allowed for a special redistricting process. The referendum was sparked by a partisan redistricting process kicked off by Texas and picked up by other largely Republican states, before some Democratic states joined. However, after a bitter fight and a narrow victory for Democrats, who largely favored redistricting, the Supreme Court of Virginia voided the referendum results on procedural grounds, leaving the state's districts unchanged.

In Virginia's eighth district, incumbent Don Beyer is facing four challengers, three of whom are former federal workers who were either laid off due to Trump administration budget cuts or who say they resigned in protest at Trump policies. As of the most recent filing, Beyer held a considerable fundraising lead in the field.

Republican Tony Sabio, who will face the Democratic Primary victor, lags behind every other candidate in fundraising. He faces long odds in the effort to unseat Beyer.

In Virginia's 10th district, Air Force veteran and longtime civil servant Dave Beckwith beat Julie Perry and Anthony Suttles. Beckwith will face Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, who has trounced opponents in two elections since emerging from a crowded Democratic Primary in 2019, in November.
