“Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia on Tuesday set the date for a special election to fill a vacant heavily-blue congressional seat in the commonwealth. Virginians in the state’s 11th Congressional District will vote on Sept. 9 in a special election to fill the seat held by the late Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, who died on May 21 after battling esophageal cancer. Connolly, a longtime House member, announced in late April that he wouldn’t seek re-election in 2026 in the Democrat-dominated Northern Virginia district in suburban Washington, D.C. Six Democrats and two Republican candidates have already jumped into the race to fill Connolly’s seat.” (06/03/25)
