In this election, he faced off against Democrat Leslie Mehta, an accomplished attorney who has previously held the role of legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia.
Wittman’s congressional district is known to be Republican-leaning and includes the suburbs surrounding Richmond as well as portions of the Tidewater area.
