Description

Virginia's 11th District heads to the polls September 9th for a pivotal special election to replace the late Representative Gerry Connolly. Democrat James Walkinshaw, Connolly's former chief of staff, faces Republican Stewart Whitson, an ex-FBI agent, in a race focused on federal layoffs, education, and safety. With high stakes for a district deeply connected to federal employment, will this Democratic stronghold shift amid concerns over school funding and government's role? All eyes are on voter turnout and early results, which could signal broader political trends. Tune into WUSA9 Plus for candidate interviews and live election coverage.
