House Rating Change: VA-10 Open Seat Moves to Likely Democrat
Virginia Democratic Rep. Jennifer Wexton announced this week that she won’t run for reelection after being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder, aggressive progressive supra-nuclear palsy. She previously shared that she had Parkinson’s Disease, but her doctors modified the diagnosis when she didn’t respond to treatment. “I’ve always believed that honesty is the most important value in public service, so I want to be honest with you now — this diagnosis is a tough one,” Wexton said in a statement. “There is no ‘getting better’ with PSP.”
