ADADGood ousted Rep. Denver Riggleman (R) in a convention this summer after attacking him as not conservative enough — splitting the 5th District GOP into factions that have not reconciled. When it comes down to it, all three House districts are historically Republican, with plenty of Trump signs lining the state highways. And none more so than the sprawling 5th District, which stretches from rural Southside Virginia and the North Carolina border all the way up to Warrenton. “She is probably the best Democratic candidate that won in a Trump district” in 2018, said Fredericks, the radio host. That’s money the group wouldn’t normally have to spend in the 5th District — but doing so this year could make the difference.
