In a seamless show of party unity, Representative Suhas Subramanyam won Virginia’s 10th Congressional District Democratic primary after running unopposed in Tuesday’s primary election.
According to the Associated Press, the lack of primary challengers allowed him to coast directly into the general election match-up.
In the Nov. 3 general election, Subramanyam will face Dave Beckwith, who emerged victorious from a contested Republican primary race to claim his party’s slot on Tuesday.
Following his victory, Subramanyam called for a Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, accusing Republicans of failing to hold President Donald Trump accountable and supporting policies that, he said, have raised costs for Americans and weakened the federal workforce.

“We need a change in Congress,” Subramanyam stated on X, adding that House Republicans had “refused to hold President Donald Trump accountable.”
Subramanyam said he looked forward to building a coalition of Virginians to “keep Virginia’s 10th District blue” and help Democrats win seats across the commonwealth.
Before taking office in the U.S. House of Representatives in January 2025, Subramanyam established his legislative reputation through years of service in local government.
He previously served terms in both the Virginia House of Delegates and the State Senate, representing communities across the northern portion of the state.
Prior to entering public office, he earned a bachelor’s degree from Tulane University and a law degree from Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law. He spent years working as a corporate attorney advising technology startups, eventually launching his own small business.
His policy experience deepened during the Obama administration, where he served as a White House technology policy advisor, guiding federal initiatives at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and public infrastructure.
Beyond his professional work, Subramanyam has maintained deep roots in Northern Virginia through local community involvement and civic service. He lives in Loudoun County with his wife, Miranda Peña Subramanyam, and their two daughters.
