Progressive. Pagan. Former broadcast journalist, now legal proofreader for the NM legislature. Also wrote some novels. Knitter, weaver, Star Wars/Star Trek/MCU fan. Owned by a ginger cat. That'll do for now, I guess.
To be clear: I am happy that the seat has stayed blue.
To be clearer: I lived in N Va for 30+ years. Fairfax County is a Dem stronghold. I would have been VERY surprised to see a R win that seat.
Also, I used to be a journalist. Phrasing matters.

Right. But how much of that stretch was Congress in recess?
Honestly, it's barely a blip.

Wait. He replaces Gerry Connolly, right? And Connolly was a Democrat. He died in May, which was only 4 months ago. So it's not really "one more D seat", it's keeping the seat in the D column.
