Democrat Garrett McGuire will replace state Del. Mark Sickles (D), who has been tapped to be Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s secretary of finance, in the 17th House District.
The Tuesday contests are part of a series of special elections prompted as Spanberger, who was elected governor last year and inaugurated over the weekend, called on several state lawmakers to join her administration.
Democrats have the majority in the House of Delegates, where state lawmakers moved forward quickly this month with constitutional amendments on abortion access, mid-decade redistricting and other major issues.
Democrats were expected to win in the district, which went to former Vice President Kamala Harris by 43 points in 2024.
