Virginians and the country will be keeping a close eye on two races that could have a major impact on the U.S. House and Senate - the Senate race between Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Corey Stewart, and the race for Virginia's 10th Congressional district between Republican Barbara Comstock and Democrat Jennifer Wexton.
U.S. House - Virginia 10th District: DMV residents have been inundated with dueling ad campaigns championing the causes of the incumbent, Comstock, and her Democratic challenger, Wexton. Comstock has represented the district since 2015, after serving in the Virginia House of Delegates for four years.
U.S. Senate: The Senate race pits a moderate Democrat in Kaine against a staunch Trump acolyte in Stewart. The latter is currently serving as at-large chair of the board of supervisors of Prince William County. Like Trump, Stewart has become an outspoken critic of immigration policies. Kaine has represented Virginia in the Senate since 2013. He previously served as Lieutenant Governor.
