Delegate Robert J. Wittman won election yesterday to the Congressional seat of the late Jo Ann Davis. The 1st District race concluded with Wittman winning 61percent (42,325) of the total votes cast. The special Dec. 11 election was held to fill the unexpired term of Davis and featured paper ballots since voting machines were not available awaiting February’s presidential primaries. The next regular Congressional election will occur next November.
A special election will have to be held to replace Wittman in the 99th District in the House of Delegates. Governor Kaine has indicated that he plans to schedule the election as soon as possible.
