News
Patrick Mosolf is in the news as a candidate in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, where the Democratic nomination race is still unsettled because redistricting could change the final district lines. He is one of the challengers filing for the race as candidates prepare for a primary that may be affected by a pending state Supreme Court ruling. The broader contest is also being shaped by fundraising gaps and shifting district boundaries that could make the seat more competitive for Democrats.
