The race for Virginia's Seventh Congressional District is in a dead heat, according to a new poll paid for by the Derrick Anderson campaign. Republican Army veteran Derrick Anderson will face off against Democrat Eugene Vindman for the open seat that Democrat Abigail Spanberger currently holds. Vindman, a Trump whistleblower turned democratic congressional candidate, is facing multiple Federal Election Commission (FEC) inquiries into his campaign finances.
Derrick Anderson can't shake questions about owning a home outside of the district, and Eugene Vindman is defending his military rank and actions during his time in the Trump administration. Despite these controversies, the race remains close as both candidates vie for the opportunity to represent the diverse district.
WOODBRIDGE, Va.

Vindman's background as a whistleblower against President Trump has garnered him both praise and criticism, but he remains focused on his message of unity and progress.
Eugene (Yevgeny) Vindman won the Democratic nomination in the state's 7th District, which stretches south from Washington's Virginia exurbs to Richmond. His platform includes healthcare reform, gun control, and environmental protection, resonating with many voters in the increasingly diverse district.
