Redistricting
Background
In April 2026, voters narrowly approved a constitutional amendment to allow for mid-decade redistricting and to instate a map that would have likely given Democrats 10 of Virginia's 11 seats in the House of Representatives.[2] However, on May 8, the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled the referendum vote null and void in a 4–3 decision, stating the General Assembly "violated the intervening-election requirement in Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia" by first passing the amendment while early voting was underway for the 2025 elections.[3] As a result, the 2021 Special Masters map remained in effect for the 2026 midterms. Following the ruling, House Speaker Don Scott and Attorney General Jay Jones filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States and filed a motion requesting the state Supreme Court to pause its ruling from taking effect while the appeal plays out.[4] On May 15, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal.[5]

The 2nd district is based in Hampton Roads, containing the cities of Chesapeake, Franklin, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. Virginia's Eastern Shore is also located within the district. The incumbent is Republican Jen Kiggans, who was re-elected with 50.7% of the vote in 2024.[6]
In May 2026, Kiggans appeared on a radio show where the radio host, Rich Herrera, criticized House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries's efforts to redraw the state's congressional districts saying, "get your cotton‑picking hands off of Virginia." Kiggans replied, "That's right. Ditto. Yes. Yes to that", receiving criticism from Democrats. Kiggans apologized and clarified her positions, in which she disagreed with the statement's connection to slavery from the host.[43]
