Axios Richmond

Richmond's blue shift is looking more like the new normal

Democrats largely held onto their 2025 gains across the Richmond region in Tuesday's midterms, while Republicans maintained some traditional strongholds, per an Axios review of preliminary election results. Why it matters: While much of the nation saw a " blue tsunami ," Richmond got more of a spritz. The latest: Two competitive Richmond-area congressional races remained uncalled Wednesday — with Democrat Shannon Taylor leading in the 1st District and Republican John McGuire ahead in the 5th. Taylor, ahead with 51% of the vote , declared victory, though Republican incumbent Rob Wittman hadn't conceded. McGuire, who also declared victory, leads with 50% in the 5th. Democrat challenger Tom Perriello also hasn't conceded, saying the race is too close to call. State of play: Democratic congressional candidates improved their vote shares across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and even traditionally red Hanover compared with 2024 , per preliminary election results. Yes, but: Compared with Gov. Spanberger's performance in the same localities in last year's governor's race, voting patterns were largely unchanged. And Richmond-area turnout this year was virtually identical to 2025, ranging from 54% in Richmond to 67% in Hanover. By the numbers: In the closely watched 1st Congressional District, which includes parts of

Kimberly Pope Adams seeks re-election in 82nd District

Fresh off the 2026 local and midterm elections, Democratic Del. Kimberly Pope Adams announced her intent to seek re-election to the Virginia House of Delegates in November 2027. In a statement released Nov. 4, Pope Adams said she was seeking a second two-year term because "there's still much more to do" for the 82nd House District beyond 2027. “Our district is home to hardworking families, farmers, small business owners, and communities with tremendous potential,” Pope Adams said in a statement annoucing her intent. “Whether it’s keeping a family farm operating, funding our classrooms, repairing a bridge, or bringing broadband to a rural home, these are real challenges that require more than promises. They require persistence and results.” The 43-year-old Hopewell native and Dinwiddie County resident is so far the only Democrat to announce for the seat, and she is not expected to face opposition for the nomination. Republicans have yet to announce who they will back next year. Pope Adams has faced former Del. Kim Taylor of Dinwiddie County in the past two election cycles. In 2023, Taylor defeated Pope Adams in a tight race that was decided by a recount. Pope Adams came back in 2053 to defeat Taylor
