Democrats add 1 more vote in Congress after Virginia special election [View all]
(Politico) Democratic Fairfax County Supervisor James Walkinshaw defeated Republican Stewart Whitson easily on Tuesday, with The Associated Press calling the race at 7:36 p.m. Eastern time.
The race for the seat in Virginia’s 11th Congressional District was widely expected to be won by Walkinshaw, who will replace his former boss. The late Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, who had represented the district for over 15 years, died in May.
