Dem Rep. Abagail Spanberger To Run For VA Governor

The Washington Post reports:

Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) will not seek reelection in Virginia’s 7th District next year so she can run for Virginia governor in 2025, according to two people familiar with the Democrat’s plans.

Spanberger, who won a third term last year in one of the state’s most competitive swing districts, will announce her gubernatorial bid very soon, according to the two, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The congresswoman’s interest in seeking the Executive Mansion has hardly been a secret but her “imminent” entry, whether it’s Monday or even a few months away, would be unusually early — nearly two years before Election Day in November 2025.
