2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the 11 U.S. representatives from the state of Virginia, one from each of the state's 11 congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives. Pursuant to state law, primaries organized through the Department of Elections were held on June 21, 2022 (the third Tuesday of June). However, some Republican firehouse primaries were held on dates as late as May 21, 2022.[1][2][3]

Redistricting
Bipartisan Commission
Following the passage of Question 1 in the 2020 elections, a bipartisan redistricting commission was created. The commission holds 16 members: four from the House of Delegates, four from the Senate of Virginia, and eight citizens. It had 60 days following the release of the 2020 census data or until July 1, 2021, whichever was later, to approve a map, which had to be approved by the General Assembly.
As the 2020 census data was released on August 12, 2021[4] the deadline was set to October 11, 2021. Early in the commission meetings the Democrat and Republican sides both hired partisan map makers and legal advisers. This created worry they would cause the commission to become too partisan to create a compromise map. This was proved true after it became clear that the commission would not create a Congressional map within the deadline after it failed to create any progress on a starting draft for the General Assembly maps, which it had solely focused on. The failure of the commission was shown even more clearly when, out of growing frustration from the lack of compromise, three Democratic members of the commission walked out, breaking any chance of a deal.[5] After the walkout no other progress was made and the deadline passed, handing the redistricting process over to the Virginia Supreme Court.
Following the rules established by Question 1, the court ordered both Democrats and Republicans to create a list of nominees to be selected as special masters for a map. However, the court threw out 1 of the 3 Republican nominees and ordered a replacement as they found past ties to Republican leadership.[6] Once the Republican list was re-submitted, the court started reviewing both parties' lists again and picked Sean Trende as the Republican nominee and Bernard Grofman as the Democratic nominee.[7] On December 8 the two special masters had announced the completion of the draft map for the House of Representatives.[8] However, following the announcement it came with public backlash over the handling of incumbents, mostly around the new 7th district. Following the public comment period, the map was almost completely redrawn and a revised map was released on December 28.[9] The new map's announcement ended the nearly six-month redistricting process.
The new court-approved map completely changed every district, with the largest changes being in the 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 10th districts. The first district previously held a significant southern portion of Northern Virginia and was replaced with the western parts of Henrico and Chesterfield counties. These changes made it more Republican.[10] The second district shifted more Republican as it previously held Williamsburg City, York County, eastern portions of Hampton City, and northern parts of Norfolk City. These regions were generally Democratic and were replaced with the southern portions of Chesapeake City, Suffolk City, Isle of Wight County, Franklin City, and eastern parts of Southampton County, which are generally Republican areas. These changes made it less Republican.[10] Unlike the 1st and 2nd districts, the new 7th district was entirely remade. The new district now holds the eastern parts of Prince William County and the entirety of Culpeper, Madison, Greene, Orange, Stafford, King George, Spotsylvania, and Caroline counties. These areas combined are more Democratic than the former Richmond suburbs and rural central Virginia counties which made up the old 7th district.[10] The last major change district was the 10th district, which removed Frederick County, Winchester City, Clarke County, and western parts of Fairfax County. These were replaced by the addition of western Prince William County, Fauquier County, and Rappahannock County. This made the district more Republican.[10]

Debates and forums
Both candidates agreed to four joint events.
The first forum was hosted by The Arc of Northern Virginia (NoVA), an advocacy center for disabled children and seniors.[197] They have been hosting these forums since 2020. It was the only online event in which both Wexton and Cao participated. It also included the Democratic and Republican candidates for the 7th and 10th congressional districts. The Arc of NoVA asked their own questions, questions sent to them ahead of time, and questions taken from a Facebook chat. As mentioned at the start of the forum, all candidates were sent the questions they were planning to ask as well as questions that were sent in.
