The district covers Alleghany County, Bath County, Botetourt County, Buena Vista, Covington, Highland County, Lexington, Roanoke, Roanoke County, Rockbridge County, Salem, as well as other localities throughout western Virginia.
The pair went to head to head back in 2018. Lewis lost to Cline in his first run for Congress, but this year, Lewis returned for a rematch due to Cline’s votes against mental health legislation and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
This would mark Cline’s third term as a US Congressman.
