Table of Contents

Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) has called the Virginia 1st Congressional District race for Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman.

"Not a big surprise [Wittman won], because while that area includes Henrico and Chesterfield, it also includes large parts of the Northern Neck where Rob Wittman was from, where he's very, very well known," CBS 6 political analyst Dr. Bob Holsworh said. "What I'm going to be looking at, however, is, at least, does Leslie Mehta carry Henrico? Does she wind up carrying Chesterfield? Just to see if the Democrats are making any progress in that district. But it's a Republican district."
