GOP primary winner emerges in battle including Navy Seal, Green Beret, Marine and Trump official

There were six Republicans who vied for the nomination in the Virginia primary

 

Derrick Anderson won the Republican primary in the race to flip Democrat Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger's 7th Congressional District seat red.

 

Anderson was leading his closest opponent by about 10% when the Associated Press called the race on Tuesday.

 

The Republican primary was stacked with six candidates, including: Navy SEAL combat veteran Cameron Hamilton; U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret and combat veteran Derrick Anderson; author and artist Maria Martin; Marine Corps veteran Jon Myers; entrepreneur John Prabhudoss; Trump administration appointee to serve as Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, Terris Todd.

 

Spanberger currently represents the district, but announced last year she would not seek re-election in favor of running for governor of the Old Dominion state in 2025. The Democratic primary for the state's 7th Congressional District was also held Tuesday, with seven Democrats vying for the nomination.
