John McGuire (R) defeated incumbent Rep. Bob Good (R) in the Republican primary in Virginia's 5th Congressional District on June 18, 2024. Good was one of 15 incumbents who lost their re-election campaigns to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024.

Following a recount, McGuire defeated Good by 370 votes. McGuire received 50.3% of the vote, and Good received 49.7%.[1] Good requested the recount, as state law allows candidates when the margin is within 1% of the total vote. The recount took place on August 1. To learn more about the recount, click here.

According to University of Virginia professor Kyle Kondik, support for former President Donald Trump (R) was an issue in the race. Kondik wrote, "Though Good is very conservative ideologically, McGuire can undercut that by saying he’s not loyal."[2] According to University of Lynchburg professor David Richards, Good's vote to remove Kevin McCarthy (R) as House speaker was also a point of difference between the candidates. "Ever since the ouster of McCarthy from the speaker position, Good and some others have been viewed by the mainstream GOP as more obstructionist than team players," Richards wrote.[3]

Good was, at the time of the primary, in his second term and was chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. Good was running on his record, which he said included supporting the Life at Conception Act, acting to remove Liz Cheney (R) as GOP conference chairwoman, and introducing 35 bills.[4] Good said McGuire was a member of the political establishment, saying the primary "represents defeating the swamp’s efforts to strike back, and they have found a willing candidate in liar McGuire."[2] As of June 17, 2024, Good had raised $1,146,807 and had $167,832 in cash on hand.

McGuire was, at the time of the primary, a state senator and former member of the Virginia House of Delegates. McGuire ran on his legislative record, which he said included advocating for veterans and law enforcement, establishing a task force to propose improvements in law enforcement's approach to heroin and fentanyl distribution, and increasing penalties for illegal distribution of opioids.[5][6] McGuire said he was running because "for quite a while people have come up to me and said, John, please primary our congressman."[7] In his campaign kickoff announcement, McGuire said, "On the day our president was wrongly indicted, Bob abandoned Trump by endorsing another candidate," in reference to Good endorsing Ron DeSantis (R) for president.[8] As of June 17, 2024, McGuire had raised $1,236,509 and had $565,297 in cash on hand. Former President Donald Trump (R) endorsed McGuire on May 28, 2024.[9]

As of June 17, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales, and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Solid/Safe Republican. In 2022, Good defeated Joshua Throneburg (D) 57.6%–42.2%.

All 435 seats were up for election. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies.[10] As of June 2024, 45 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election. To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.

In the 2022 election in this district, the Republican candidate won 57.6%-42.2%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Donald Trump (R) would have defeated Joe Biden (D) 53.4%-45.2%.[11]

Election recount

Based on the certified results in this race, John McGuire (R) defeated incumbent Rep. Bob Good (R) by 374 votes. At the time of the election, Virginia law allowed Good to request a recount because the initial vote margin was within 1% of the total vote. Goochland County Circuit Court Judge Claude Worrell II ordered a recount on July 18.

The recount lasted for the duration of August 1. Based on final results, McGuire defeated Good by 370 votes.[1]

According to WVTF Music and RADIO IQ, three recounts in congressional races had previously happened in Virginia since 1967. None of those recounts changed the outcome of the elections.[12]

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[23]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[24][25][26]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Virginia in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 16, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifty-three candidates ran for Virginia’s 11 U.S. House districts, including 33 Democrats and 20 Republicans. That’s an average of 4.81 candidates per district.

This was also the most candidates who ran in primary elections in Virginia in the last 10 years.

The 7th and 10th Congressional Districts were open in 2024. The last time a seat was open in Virginia was in 2018 when two seats were open.

Incumbent Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-07) did not run for re-election because she will run for Governor of Virginia in 2025. Incumbent Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-10) retired from public office.

Sixteen candidates—12 Democrats and four Republicans—ran for the open 10th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a district in Virginia in 2024.

Nine primaries—six Democratic and three Republican—were contested in 2024. Between 2014 and 2022, an average of 5.8 primaries were contested each election year.

Two incumbents—Gerald Edward Connolly (D-11) and Bob Good (R-05)—were in contested primaries in 2024. Since 2014, there have been two incumbents in contested primaries in Virginia in every election year.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 11 districts, meaning no seats are guaranteed to either party.
