Former Gerry Connolly Aide Wins Democratic Primary in Bid to Replace Him in US House Seat From Virginia
- Stewart Whitson, a former FBI agent and Army veteran, won Virginia's 11th District Republican firehouse primary, securing the GOP nomination for the Sept. 9 special election.
- Gerry Connolly's death on May 21 triggered the Sept. 9 special election for Virginia's 11th District seat, after 16 years of Democratic representation.
- Rosie Oakley said, 'The turnout shows that 11th District Republicans are fired up and ready to flip the 11th District red,' highlighting high GOP enthusiasm despite no GOP win since 2006.
- The September 9 special election will see Whitson face Walkinshaw, setting up a contest in a district heavily favoring Democrats, despite GOP enthusiasm.
- Virginia’s 11th District’s deep-blue lean and Harris’s 34-point 2024 margin make the Democratic nominee a prohibitive favorite in the September 9 special election.
