Opinion Column By Stephen J. Farnsworth and Anders Barretta
Virginia’s sprawling Seventh Congressional District, which includes all or part of ten counties and the City of Fredericksburg, was one of the most sought-after congressional prizes nationally this year. It was one of a dozen or so districts situated largely in outer ring suburban counties, which comprise the borderlands between Blue metropolitan areas and the Red rural counties. These are largely purple locations where congressional majorities are won and lost in America.
Virginia Seven, once again, did not disappoint.
