Prince William County 2024 Primary Voter Guide: Candidates, How To Vote

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Tuesday is primary election day in Woodbridge and the rest of Prince William County and Virginia. Prince William County voters will have two competitive congressional races on the ballot to determine candidates for November's general election.

While Virginia already chose its primary candidates for U.S. president in the March Super Tuesday election, June's primary focuses on congressional elections and local offices where applicable. Prince William County local elections happened in 2023 and will not be on the ballot in 2024.

What's on the Ballot

Prince William County will have a dual primary — Democratic primaries for the 7th and 10th congressional district and Republican primaries for a U.S. Senate seat, and 7th and 10th congressional districts.

Depending on which area of Prince William County you live in, the 7th or 10th congressional district will be on the ballot.

In the 7th congressional district, Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Fredericksburg) is not running again, as she announced a 2025 bid for Virginia governor. The 7th district includes parts of Fredericksburg and counties of Prince William, Stafford, Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Orange, Caroline, King George, Greene, Madison, and Albermarle and is considered competitive for elections, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.

The primaries have drawn numerous candidates in both parties. Democratic candidates include Andrea Bailey, Carl Bedell, Margaret Angela Franklin, Elizabeth Guzman, Clifford Heinzer, Briana Sewell and Eugene Vindman. Republican candidates include Derrick Anderson, Cameron Hamilton, Maria Martin, Jon Myers, John Prabhudoss and Terris Todd.
