- Eugene Vindman won the open 7th District seat after incumbent Abigail Spanberger chose to run for governor in 2025.
- Vindman gained national attention as a whistleblower during former President Trump’s first impeachment process.
- His campaign emphasized abortion rights and democracy protection, contrasting with Anderson’s focus on economic issues.
