Mooney Has Another Challenger

Republican Rep. Alex Mooney has drawn another GOP challenger for his congressional seat next year. Republican Marc Savitt filed federal candidacy paperwork for the 2nd Congressional District this week. Savitt’s campaign website says he’s from Jefferson County. In 2014, Savitt finished last in a six-way Republican primary in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District. Republican pharmacist Ken Reed is running against Mooney again after finishing a distant second in the seven-way 2014 primary. No Democratic challengers have announced yet.
