The newly drawn Virginia House District 54 covers Charlottesville City and part of Albemarle County. Katrina E. Callsen (D) is running unopposed to represent the new district in the Virginia House of Delegates.

Though Callsen is the only candidate certified by the Virginia Department of Elections, voters can write in other candidates.

We did not send questionnaires to this candidate, but are sharing the extensive media coverage the race has already gotten.
