Here are Virginia’s new congressional districts and who is running
A Virginia referendum to redraw the state’s congressional districts is set to upend House races, turning some contests newly competitive and endangering four Republican incumbents.
The redistricting plan approved by voters Tuesday was drawn by Democratic state legislators to help their party secure 10 out of Virginia’s 11 House seats, instead of the six they now hold. Those lawmakers said it was necessary as a temporary measure until 2030 to counter President Donald Trump’s push to protect the GOP House majority by redrawing districts in Texas and other red states to favor Republicans.
