The tea ☕

  • Virginia Democrats passed a redistricting plan to target seats like this one, and voters approved it in April. The state Supreme Court threw it out on May 8, 2026, so the old map is in use. Congressman Eugene Vindman had planned to run here and went back to his own district.
  • A pro-Taylor ad claims Wittman got 'up to 40 times richer' in Congress. Wittman called it garbage, said the money came from inheritances and managed investments, and said he would disclose his net worth.
