Subramanyam, Clancy Face Off In 10th Congressional District Race To Replace Wexton

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — As Democratic Rep. Jennifer Wexton steps back from Congress, a successor will be named in the 10th Congressional District general election on Nov. 5, 2024.

Wexton, 56, previously announced she would not seek re-election due to her Progressive Supra-nuclear Palsy diagnosis, which is a severe form of Parkinson's disease.

The candidates who advanced from the primaries are Democrat Suhas Subramanyam and Republican Mike Clancy. Subramanyam is a current Virginia state senator representing part of Loudoun County, while Clancy has been a lawyer and business executive.

Virginia's 10th Congressional District covers all of Loudoun County, the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, Fauquier County, Rappahanock County and parts of Prince William and Fairfax counties. The district is labeled as competitive by the Virginia Public Access Project.

Subramanyam has outlined campaign priorities like protecting abortion rights, gun safety restrictions, health care access and affordability, environmental protection and more.

Clancy's priorities include addressing inflation and boosting the economy, addressing border security, fully funding law enforcement, supporting gun owner rights and more.

Loudoun Now covered a recent debate between Subramanyam and Clancy, which covered issues like the economy, immigration, affordable housing, transportation and energy.
