by | Jul 19, 2020 | Politics & Elections

Culpeper Delegate Nick Freitas will be on the ballot to represent Virginia’s 7th Congressional District in this November’s election, after winning a majority of delegates in the district’s GOP convention Saturday at the Meadow Event Park in Caroline County.

Freitas, who represents Madison, Orange, and a portion of Culpeper Counties in Virginia’s House of Delegates, won the right to represent the Republican Party after a lengthy convention process. He emerged victorious on the convention’s third ballot, defeating several of candidates including Del. John McGuire, Tina Ramirez, Andrew Knaggs, and others. The convention was held “walk-through,” style due to coronavirus pandemic, in an effort to avoid crowding and maintain social distancing.

Freitas will take on Democratic incumbent Rep. Abigail Spanberger in November.
