Vega, Kiggans win GOP nod to face Reps. Spanberger, Luria
Associated PressRICHMOND, Va. — Virginia voters picked two women, a state senator and a Hispanic law enforcement official, on Tuesday as the Republican nominees for what could be two of the country’s most competitive U.S. House races. Jen Kiggans defeated three challengers to win the nomination in Virginia’s coastal 2nd District and will take on U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria. Luria’s campaign manager, Kate Fegley, said in a statement that Kiggans was a “political opportunist” and “election denier.” In recent interviews, Kiggans has declined to say whether Biden was legitimately elected. “The people of Virginia’s Second Congressional District trust Elaine Luria and know that she will continue to deliver and do what’s right regardless of the political implications,” Fegley said in a statement. Beyer, who was the only Democratic incumbent to face a primary challenger, said in a statement that he was humbled to have earned the voters’ trust and thanked Virasingh for her “spirited challenge.” In the deep red Shenandoah Valley-based 6th District, GOP Rep. Ben Cline defeated challenger Merritt Hale.
