Democrat Jim Moran, who has represented the 8th District since 1991, ran for re-election.

Democratic primary

A controversy erupted when the Democratic Party of Virginia disqualified Moran's primary challenger Shuttleworth, saying he had fallen 17 signatures short of the 1,000 threshold required. Shuttleworth filed a federal lawsuit; the party then changed course without explanation and allowed Shuttleworth on the ballot.[56]

Moran won the primary against Shuttleworth by a sizable margin.
