Former President Donald Trump 's plan to move 100,000 federal government jobs out of Washington , D.C. would hurt Virginia 's economy.

Roughly 60,000 of the workers who would be affected by that policy live in Virginia 's 7th Congressional District, accounting for 15% of its residents.

The district's current member of Congress is Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Virginia), and it's considered one of the most competitive races in November due to its reputation as a swing seat.
