Who is my U.S. representative in VA-05?

I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently holds the seat in Virginia's 5th Congressional District. Congressional seats can change due to elections, resignations, or other circumstances, and I can't verify the current officeholder.

To find out who your current U.S. Representative is, I'd recommend:

1. **House.gov** — Use the "Find Your Representative" tool at the top of the page (house.gov), which lets you search by ZIP code.

2. **Your state's election website** — Virginia's Department of Elections (elections.virginia.gov) has voter information tools.

3. **USA.gov** — Has a directory of elected officials.

One quick note: it's worth double-checking that you're actually in VA-05, since district boundaries can shift after redistricting. Entering your full address in the House.gov tool will confirm both your district and your representative.

Is there anything else I can help you with regarding how to contact your representative once you've identified them?
