District 2

Republican incumbent Scott Taylor is in a race targeted by the DCCC. This is one of only two GOP held seats that voted for Democrat Ralph Northam in 2017. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee supported Elaine Luria, a United States Naval Commander for the nomination. [8]

Roanoke Commonwealth's Attorney Donald Caldwell has been appointed as a special prosecutor to investigate claims that Taylor's aides forged signatures, including those of Delegate Glenn Davis and his wife, [9] on Shaun Brown's petitions to make the ballot as an independent candidate. Taylor had already cut ties with his campaign manager when these irregularities came to light and promised to cooperate with the investigation, and said that the irregularities in the petitions should have no bearing on Brown's right to be on the ballot. [10]

Shaun Brown submitted 2,163 petition signatures which actually went through the verification process. 1,030 of those were considered valid. [9] Democrats asked the Virginia State Board of Elections to remove Brown from the ballot for falling short of the 1,000 signatures required, [11] and have filed suit. [12] They have also asked Attorney General of Virginia Mark Herring to investigate. [13]

A review of the signatures also revealed that more than 50 Virginia Beach sheriff's employees signed petitions forms at work to get Brown on the ballot during the closing days of the petition drive, when petitioners were scrambling to meet the deadline. [14]

Brown was accused by federal prosecutors of lying to the Federal Election Commission about donating $700,000 to her campaign and bilking the government by falsifying the number of meals her nonprofit fed to needy children, but her trial—in which Brown testified in her own defense and was subjected to a lengthy cross-examination [15] —ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked 11-1. [16] A new trial has been set to begin on October 9 and run for seven days. [17]

In September, circuit judge Gregory Rupe ordered Brown off the ballot. Brown subsequently appealed to the Virginia Supreme Court but justices declined to hear her case. The Virginia Attorney General's office argued that it was too late for her to appear on the ballot. [18]

District 10

In the 10th district, six Democratic candidates, encouraged by the fact that Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock's district voted for Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential election, 2016, submitted the required number of signatures to run for that seat. [49] Republicans believe, however, that given that Comstock is an excellent fundraiser and fierce campaigner, she will be able to keep the seat. [50] April polling is favorable to a generic Democrat against Comstock, although Comstock performs much better in polling when her name is on the ballot against a named Democratic opponent. [51]

Patriarchist libertarian Nathan Larson filed to run as an independent, [52] but then withdrew his candidacy on August 13 and endorsed Wexton, calling her "the accelerationist choice"; [53] Wexton, through a spokesman, declined the endorsement. [54] Comstock tweeted, "It is good news for all voters in the 10th District that Nathan Larson, a convicted felon who served time in prison for threatening to kill the President and is an admitted pedophile, an admitted rapist, white supremacist, and misogynist, is now off the ballot in the 10th Congressional District."

Statewide and municipal elections were held in the U.S. state of Virginia on November 7, 2017. The main election being held in Virginia was the state's gubernatorial election. In addition, all of Virginia's House of Delegates seats were up for re-election. Primary elections for the House of Delegates and the governor were held on June 13, 2017. Ralph Northam (D) was elected to become the 73rd Governor of Virginia, Justin Fairfax (D) was elected to become the 41st Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, and Mark Herring (D) was reelected as the 47th Attorney General of Virginia.

Virginia's 50th House of Delegates district elects one of the 100 members of the Virginia House of Delegates, the lower house of the state's bicameral legislature. The district is made up of most of Manassas City and some of Prince William County. The representative of the 50th district is Democrat Lee J. Carter, who is also a Democratic Socialist.
