State Senator Va. Amanda Chase Seeks Republican Nomination to Challenge Representative Abigail Spanberger

Tina Ramirez, founder of an international religious freedom-focused nonprofit and small business owner, is currently leading the way in fundraising, with about $248,000 in hand. Behind Ramirez are Taylor Keeney, a former spokesman for former governor Robert F. McDonnell (R), and John Castorani, a veteran who previously unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in a county Alabama congress. Other candidates include veterans Derrick Anderson and Gary Barve, who recently moved to Virginia from California.
