Yes, she's a real team player doing this early.  Obviously it clears the gubernatorial field if she's already everywhere,  on top of her having recognition with both DC and Richmond voters thanks to redistricting.  But congressionally it helps avoid a lower-turnout PW electorate and gives the most potential to whoever succeds her.

Vindman is the first one in the race to replace her.

Vindman raised over $800K in the first 24 hours, almost all from outside the district. Which is emblematic of what this race has quickly become. Vindman has the #resister crowd who has freely given millions in the past to candidates with less much successful prospects. But inside NOVA the local Dem organizations have quickly soured on him, as he seemingly purposefully ignores them and did nothing for them in the recent elections. However, if they want to rebuff the insane money he's going pull in, there needs to be a single opposition candidate, and this can't become a clown car like the 10th.

Third candidate in. The more local dems run, the more likely vindman wins.

She represented a historically not-so-safe seat in PW. This was made safe for 2023, but she's theoretically not going to be representing that district for much longer.  

Also, now the third candidate in from the local NOVA scene, fourth overall. The more candidates,  the more likely vindman dodges his primary defects and gets to the favorable (for him) general election.

Senator McPike out.

For reference,  the field right now is State Delegate Sewell, PW Supervisor Franklin, Former Delegate Guzman, and Vindman.

Edit: Guzman's official announcement

Fundraising reports, no surprises.  Vindman is getting the resistance cash in a place where it can actually do something good for the overall party. This type of cash flows will likely move the district off the board further down the road,  if he wins the primary.
