Three Black Women are Running for Congress in CD07

Del. Briana Sewell, top left, Andrea Bailey, right and Margaret Franklin, bottom left, are running for Congress in Virginias 7th congressional district.

There are three Black women running for the seventh congressional district. The primary is on June 18. They are Potomac District Supervisor Andrea Bailey who announced today she is running for Congress; Delegate Briana Sewell, who announced in November 2023, and Woodbridge District Supervisor Margaret Franklin.

There are 15 candidates running in all. The likely vote split in Prince William will work to the disadvantage of Sewell, Bailey and Franklin. But early polls and fundraising could cause candidates to change their mind and endorse others in the race.
