Democrats in a Richmond-based congressional district are voting Tuesday to select a nominee for the seat held by the late Rep. Donald McEachin.
The winner will be a heavy favorite in a Feb. 21 special election in a district where Democrats have a traditional advantage.
The party's establishment has coalesced around McClellan, who has received numerous endorsements. One formidable candidate, Del. Lamont Bagby withdrew from the race and endorsed McClellan. McClellan, 49, a corporate attorney, has represented parts of the Richmond area in the General Assembly since 2006. She ran for governor in 2021 but lost the Democratic primary to Terry McAuliffe.Voting at the polling sites for the party-run primary are not the same locations voters use in November elections. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
