VA-02: Democrats crowd into Virginia's 2nd District race as Kiggans faces mounting headwinds
Democrats see Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District as one of their best chances to flip a Republican seat next year, and six candidates have already launched campaigns to take on U.S. Rep. Jen Kiggans, R-Virginia Beach — the latest being Dr. Nila Devanath, a hospital physician who announced her bid Tuesday.
The district, anchored in Hampton Roads and stretching across the cities of Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Franklin, parts of Chesapeake and the Eastern Shore, has traded hands several times over the past decade and remains highly competitive.
Kiggans, a former state senator and Navy veteran, flipped the seat from Democrat Elaine Luria in 2022 and narrowly won reelection last year against Missy Cotter Smasal.
But with President Donald Trump back in the White House, Democrats now view her as one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the House — particularly amid the ongoing federal government shutdown that’s hit her military-heavy district hard.
