Ms. Kiggans largely supported President Trump’s agenda, including the SAVE America Act and the war in Iran.
Ms. Luria, an outspoken critic of the president, served as one of the original members on a House committee that probed the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol.
Mr. Trump carried the district by less than a percentage point over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
The following year, Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger won the district by 8 points.
