Republicans in Virginia’s new 10th Congressional District will hold a party canvass on Saturday, May 21, to determine a candidate to attempt to unseat Democrat Jennifer Wexton, whose held the seat since 2019.
According to the Federal Elections Commission, five Republican candidates are running, including Prince William County Brentsville District Supervisor Jeanine Lawson and Manassas City Council member Theresa Coates Ellis.
Redrawn by the Virginia State Supreme Court in December 2021, the new 10th Congressional District now includes western Prince William County (west of Hoadly Road), Fauquier, Loudoun, and Rappahannock counties, and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.
Balloting will begin at 9 a.m. and will end at 4 p.m. Anyone in line by 4 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
The voter must present a photo ID issued by the Virginia State Government, the Federal Government, or college or university to receive a ballot.
Election officials will use ranked-choice voting to choose the candidate. In this system, voters rank their candidates by preference, and candidates with the fewest rankling are eliminated.
Republicans used ranked-choice voting in 2021 to choose Glenn Youngkin to run for governor.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
