State Del. Nick Freitas announced his candidacy for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, joining a crowded Republican field seeking the right to challenge first-term Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger.
Freitas, a former Green Beret and two-tour Iraq veteran, is running in the central Virginia district, which Spanberger, 40, won in 2018, defeating Republican incumbent Dave Brat by 1.9%. Several other Republicans are already running, including state Del. John McGuire.
