The race for the 29th district seat has been, and will continue to be one of the most-watched state senate races in Virginia. Either Jeremy McPike, or Republican Hal Parrish II, who is also seeking the seat that includes nearly all of Prince William County, will replace the retiring Chuck Colgan, the longest siting state senator in the General Assembly.
