Virginia's 4th congressional district

Common card · No. 365584

Virginia's fourth congressional district is a majority-minority United States congressional district in the state of Virginia, taking in most of the area between Richmond and the North Carolina state line. It covers the entireties of Brunswick, Charles City, Dinwiddie, Greensville, Prince George, Surry, and Sussex counties, along with parts of Chesterfield, Henrico, and Southampton counties. The district also encompasses all of the independent cities of Colonial Heights, Emporia, Hopewell, Petersburg, and Richmond. The district is currently represented by Democrat Jennifer McClellan, who was elected to the seat in the 2023 Virginia's 4th congressional district special election, caused by the death of incumbent Democrat Donald McEachin on November 28, 2022. In 2016, the adjacent 3rd district was found unconstitutional, leading court-ordered redistricting which transformed the 4th District from a Republican-leaning district to a safely Democratic seat for the 2016 elections.
