From the Washington Examiner, minutes ago...

Republican Barbara Comstock defeated Democratic incumbent Margi Vanderhye in the race for that seat by the razor-thin margin of 50.6 percent to 49.2 percent.

Meanwhile, Republican Scott Garrett nipped incumbent Democrat Shannon Valentine in Lynchburg, 50.5 percent to 49.5 percent, with the race called by the Associated Press Wednesday morning.

"A lot of the pickups were in urban areas," said Republican Del. Dave Albo of Fairfax. "It's really going to help us out in Richmond."

Cliff Thies is the former National Chair of the Republican Liberty Caucus. He lives in Winchester, VA.
