Millions of dollars have been spent so far on three congressional campaigns in hotly contested Virginia districts -- with one surpassing even the 2020 presidential campaigns and another close behind. Advertising in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District topped $11 million earlier this week, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. VIRGINIA SENATE RACE SEES UNDERDOG GOP CHALLENGER CONFIDENT DESPITE UPHILL BATTLESpanberger, a former federal law enforcement officer and ex-CIA case officer, is the first Democrat to win election in the district since 1968. While at least three congressional races in the state are close, polls show Biden with an advantage in the presidential race. That combined total is barely ahead of the $8 million spent in the 2nd District race between incumbent Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria and GOP challenger Scott Taylor.
