Wittman seeks to keep 1st District seat, as Democratic challengers face crowded primary

Robb Wittman, a Republican representing Virginia’s 1st Congressional District since 2007, seeks re-election amid a crowded Democratic primary. The district, with over 615,000 registered voters, has historically favored Republicans but showed a shift in 2025 with Abigail Spanberger’s gubernatorial win. Seven Democratic candidates are vying for the nomination to challenge Wittman.
