The GOP loses a squeaker tossup near the heart of the swamp.

Spanberger looks set to HOLD #VA07, a big victory for Democrats in Virginia. Spanberger's district was substantially changed after redistricting. The incumbent campaigned heavily on Dems' legislative achievements.

Another nailbiter.

Spanberger wants to ban so-called “assault” weapons.

She’s also a creature of the CIA:

In 2002 and 2003, Spanberger taught English literature as a substitute teacher at the Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia.[5] In the early 2000s, she was a postal inspector, working on money laundering and narcotics cases.

In 2006, Spanberger joined the Central Intelligence Agency as an operations officer. She said she gathered intelligence about nuclear proliferation and terrorism.

In 2014, Spanberger left the CIA and entered the private sector. She was hired by Royall & Company (now EAB). In 2017, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe appointed her to the Virginia Fair Housing Board.
