Abigail Spanberger Won’t Seek Re-Election

“Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) will not seek reelection in Virginia’s 7th District next year so she can run for Virginia governor in 2025,” the Washington Post reports.

“Spanberger, who won a third term last year in one of the state’s most competitive swing districts, will announce her gubernatorial bid very soon, according to the two, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the congresswoman had hoped to make her announcement a surprise. One of the two said she was preparing to launch her campaign ‘imminently.’ The other was more specific, saying she would do so Monday with the release of a video.”
