Virginia's 4th congressional district

Incumbent Democrat Donald McEachin died on November 28, 2022, of colorectal cancer, before he was seated to his fourth term in the 118th Congress. Governor Glenn Youngkin called a special election for February 21, 2023, with the general election filing deadline set for December 23, 2022. The Democratic Party chose to hold its "firehouse primary" on December 20, just 8 days after the special election date was set.

State senator Jennifer McClellan won the primary in a landslide, and subsequently defeated pastor Leon Benjamin in the general election, becoming the first black woman to represent Virginia in Congress.
