Virginia's fourth congressional district is a United States congressional district in the state of Virginia, taking in most of the area between Richmond and the North Carolina state line. It covers all or part of the counties of Brunswick, Charles City, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, Greensville, Henrico, Prince George, Southampton, Surry, and Sussex, and all or part of the independent cities of Colonial Heights, Emporia, Hopewell, Petersburg, and Richmond. The district is currently represented by DemocratJennifer McClellan, who was elected to the seat after she defeated Republican Leon Benjamin in the February 21, 2023, special election, caused by the death of incumbent Donald McEachin (D) on November 28, 2022.
In 2016, the adjacent 3rd district was found unconstitutional, leading court-ordered redistricting which transformed the 4th District from a Republican-leaning district to a safely Democratic seat for the 2016 elections.[5]
