Redistricting Complete: The New 8th District
The Virginia Supreme Court has finalized and adopted new redistricting maps for the next decade. Here are some notes about the new 8th District, which will take effect for the 2022 elections:
- The district still includes all of Arlington County, Alexandria City, and Falls Church City, as well as parts of Fairfax County. The changes were made in Fairfax County.
- The new district runs along I-495, so everything inside the Beltway, except for Tysons Corner, is now in the 8th District, and everything west of I-495 is now outside the district. Large portions of Fairfax County, including parts of Annandale, McLean, and Springfield, have been drawn in to the 8th District.
- South of the Beltway, the boundary has been pushed east of I-95. Parts of Springfield and Lorton near I-95 have been drawn in to the 11th District.
- The district’s southern boundary is the same, going down to the Occoquan Bay and including all of Mason Neck.
- If you have been drawn out of the 8th District, you will remain in the 8th until the new Congress is sworn in January 2023. The 2022 elections will be conducted in accordance with the new districts.
You can view an interactive map of the new 8th District here.
General Assembly (House of Delegates and state Senate) districts have also been redrawn and re-numbered. House of Delegates districts now start at #1 in Northern Virginia. House of Delegates districts within the 8th District include Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19. State Senate Districts within the 8th District now include Districts 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, and 40. Your delegate and senator will remain the same until the 2023 elections. Here is the new House map and here is the new Senate map.
Redistricting proposal open to public comment
The latest congressional redistricting map proposal, created by two experts appointed by the Virginia Supreme Court, has been released and is open to public comment.

Victory in Virginia!
It’s been too long since we’ve been able to say these three words: Victory in Virginia!

The media may say they’re shocked, but we’re not. Anyone who’s been on the ground talking to voters knows that Virginia was tired of the far-left agenda imposed on us by McAuliffe, Northam, and Biden, and we were ready to take our commonwealth back.
In addition to winning the three statewide seats — Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin, Lieutenant Governor-elect Winsome Sears, and Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares — we’ve also taken back the majority in the House of Delegates! Locally, we had a candidate for almost every House seat, and all our candidates ran good, competitive campaigns, and even though they were not victorious, they helped drive turnout and divert resources from the Democrats, which helped our statewide candidates and other delegate races. As we’ve long said here in the 8th District, every vote cast in Virginia counts the same! The 8th District Republican Committee was proud to financially support our statewide and local candidates.
Our sweep in 2021 sends a strong message to the nation and puts the GOP in excellent position for the 2022 midterm elections. Remember that redistricting is nearly done and the boundaries of the 8th District will be changing. We will keep you posted as the process develops.
Please consider joining us at the Republican Party of Virginia Advance Conference the weekend of December 2nd-4th at the beautiful Omni Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia to reflect on our victory and chart our path forward. Details are available here.
For now, let’s celebrate turning Virginia red again! Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, and voted for our candidates!
Are you ready to vote?
Election Day is tomorrow, and the polls show this race is TIED.
Are you ready to turn Virginia red again for the first time since 2009?
Polls are open Tuesday from 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM.
Vote Glenn Youngkin for Governor, Winsome Sears for Lieutenant Governor, Jason Miyares for Attorney General, your local Republican for Delegate, and let’s take back our commonwealth!
Early voting ends this week!
We’re down to the wire here in Virginia and all the momentum is on our side. Terry McAuliffe is panicked while Glenn Youngkin surges. Recent polls from Monmouth University and Trafalgar Group show this race is TIED. We need every Virginia Republican to turn out and vote to turn Virginia red!
This is the final week of in-person early voting. The absentee/mail ballot application deadline has already passed, so this is your last chance to vote early!
