Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Virginia on Wednesday, defeating Democratic challenger Missy Cotter Smasal. Both women had served in the U.S. Navy: Kiggans is a former Navy helicopter pilot, and Cotter Smasal was a surface warfare officer.

Virginia’s 2nd District is home to Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach and is adjacent to the country’s largest naval base in Norfolk. Democrat Joe Biden narrowly carried the district in 2020. Kiggans defeated Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria in 2022 after redistricting made the seat slightly more favorable to the GOP. The Associated Press declared Kiggans the winner at 5:28 p.m. EST.

“Alaska should flip. not yet declared on AP”

I pray that you are correct. We need the House to complete Trump’s agenda.

“And CA-47 Baugh is also slightly ahead”

This would be a pickup, formally Piggy Porters seat whom vacated to run for Senate and was knocked out in the primary by Steve Garvey.
