Gov. Glenn Youngkin will hold a rally for Yesli Vega, the Republican seeking Virginia’s 7th District Congressional seat, at the Stafford County Courtgovernor’se event begins at 12:30 at the courthouse, 1300 Courthouse Road, and is organized by the governor’s Spirit of Virginia PAC. The rally will be the second for Vega this week in which the governor has participated and the third overall since October 17.
The outlook for Abigail Spanberger (D) is looking better in her race to keep Virginia’s 7th Congressional seat. The Cook Political Report today moved Spanberger’s race against Republican Yeli Vega, a Prince William Board of County Supervisor member, from “toss-up to “lean Democratic.”
