Beyer Running for Reelection — “U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D) made it official on Monday. He will be running again to represent the Virginia’s 8th Congressional District, according to a statement released Monday.

That could spell trouble in the House of Delegates, where Republicans now hold the majority.” [Sun Gazette]
