Pelosi backing Dorothy McAuliffe congressional bid in Virginia

On Wednesday, Dorothy McAuliffe announced she is running for Congress in Virginia's anticipated 7th Congressional District, a seat tied to Rep. Eugene Vindman's current district.
Within hours, Nancy Pelosi, former Democratic U.S. House Speaker, endorsed Dorothy McAuliffe, praising her work on childhood hunger, military families, and survivors of sexual violence.
Her campaign reported raising more than $800,000 in 24 hours and endorsements from L. Louise Lucas, Mary Sue Terry, Eileen Filler-Corn, Anne Holton, and former first ladies Pamela Northam, Lisa Collis, and Lynda Johnson Robb.
Early voting underway ahead of the April 21 special election means voters are deciding whether redraw authority will exist as the referendum faces legal challenges.
Analysts at the Virginia Public Access Project found the proposed map breakdown would shift to five strongly Democratic, five leaning Democratic, and one strongly Republican district, potentially altering the political landscape if Virginia lawmakers redraw the map.
