RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Democrat Gloria Witt won her party’s nomination in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District primary, according to the Associated Press.
The Associated Press called the race for Witt at 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday. As of 9:40 p.m., and with 18 of 24 localities in the district reporting results, Witt has over 61% of the vote in the three-way primary.
Witt worked with a nuclear energy business for 32 years before becoming the founder and CEO of Define Success Coaching, which her campaign site says is “committed to developing executives and leaders that are known for their ability to produce defined results whether in a commercial, government, non-profit, or faith-based organizations.”
Witt will face off against the winner of Tuesday’s Republican 5th Congressional District primary between Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) and state Sen. John McGuire (R-Goochland).
The 5th District is a Republican-leaning district that stretches from Albemarle County to the North Carolina state line. It also includes Charlottesville, Goochland, Powhatan, Louisa and parts of Hanover County.
Per her campaign website, Witt wants to ban assault weapons, expand voting access, “restore reproductive rights” and expand basic health care access.
