Virginia's 10th congressional district is aU.S. congressional district in theCommonwealth ofVirginia. Situated in the suburbs and exurbs ofNorthern Virginia, the district includes the entireties ofLoudoun,Fauquier, andRappahannock counties, along with portions ofFairfax andPrince William counties. The district also includes the cities ofManassas andManassas Park. It has been represented byDemocratSuhas Subramanyam since2025, who succeeded retiring Democratic incumbentJennifer Wexton.^[4]

The district includes all ofRappahannock County,Fauquier County, andLoudoun County, parts ofFairfax County andPrince William County, as well as theindependent cities ofManassas andManassas Park.^[5] The district closely matches Virginia's voting patterns in statewide races.^{[citation needed]}

Beginning when it was re-created in 1952, the 10th district was in Republican hands for 60 of 66 years, including long stints in office byJoel Broyhill (1953–74) andFrank Wolf (1981–2014).Barbara Comstock, a former aide to Wolf, succeeded him after the 2014 election.^[6]Jennifer Wextondefeated Comstock in the2018 midterms, becoming only the second Democrat to win the district.^{[citation needed]} Subramanyam ran in 2024 after Wexton did not seek re-election.

The modern 10th congressional district was formed in 1952. For the next two decades, it consisted of Arlington, Alexandria, and most of Fairfax County. As a result of redistricting following the 1970 census, it lost Alexandria and was pushed westward to take in Loudoun County. Virginia's 10th congressional district used to be a Republican stronghold, having once voted by double-digit margins for Republican candidates. In 2000, ten-term incumbent Republican CongressmanFrank Wolf won over 80% of the vote and did not face a Democratic opponent. Two years later, Wolf defeated his Democratic challenger John Stevens by 43 points. In 2004, PresidentGeorge W. Bush won the district by 11 points. In recent years, the district has become much friendlier to Democrats due to population growth in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. In 2012,Mitt Romney narrowly carried the district by a point, while in 2016,Hillary Clinton won the district by 10 points.^{[citation needed]}

In 2017, Democrats scored major gains in the state legislative elections, leaving Comstock as the only elected Republican above the county level in much of the district.Ralph Northam also easily carried the district in the gubernatorial race. This proved to be a precursor to Comstock's defeat by Wexton a year later. As of 2022, VA-10 is the third-wealthiest congressional district in the country, with amedian household income of $140,889.^[7]

According toLarry Sabato's Crystal Ball, as of 2016, the district had many "wealthy andhighly-educated voters".^[8] As of 2018, whites represented about 61% of the population, and immigrants (largely Hispanic and Asian) represented over 20%. Just over half of adults held at least a four-year college degree.^[9]

As of 2018, the 10th district had 35,500 federal workers. By comparison,the 1st district had 46,900;the 11th had 51,900; andthe 8th had 81,100.^[10] As of 2018, the eastern part of the district was home toDulles Airport and technology, telecom and aerospace companies including Verizon Business Global LLC and Aeronautical Systems Inc.^[11]
