Voters in Virginia’s 4th Congressional District will pick their next representative in a special election that could make history in the commonwealth.
Voters in Virginia’s 4th Congressional District will pick their next representative Tuesday in a special election that could make history in the commonwealth. State Sen. Jennifer McClellan, the Democratic nominee in this heavily Democratic district, would become the first Black woman to represent Virginia in Congress if she wins. She’s facing Republican Leon Benjamin in the race to fill the term of the late Rep. Donald McEachin, who died a few weeks after winning reelection in November.
Under Virginia state law, there was no state-run primary for this special election, so the parties were responsible for selecting their own nominees. McClellan won the Democratic nomination in December, defeating state Sen. Joe Morrissey and two other candidates in a “firehouse primary,” which was conducted by party officials across a handful of pop-up voting locations in the Richmond-area district.
