Republican Gina Ciarcia will run for congress in the newly established 7th District.
Ciarcia, of Prince William County, ran for the Virginia House of Delegates in November 2021, losing to Democrat Candi King. The new 7th Congressional District includes Prince William County, east of Hoadly Road, Stafford County, Fredericksburg, and surrounding counties.
A majority of Democrats favor the plan, while Republicans disapproved.
About 7,300 constituents in the Coles Magisterial District, represented by Republican Yesli Vega, will move to the Occoquan District represented by Democrat Kenny Boddye.
