Virginia's Tenth Congressional District is a U.S. congressional district in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The residents of the 10th District are currently represented by Republican Congressman Frank Wolf, first elected to the 10th's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1980.
The district currently includes portions of Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, Loudoun, Prince William, and Warren Counties. Congressional districts are redrawn every ten years following a U.S. census. As it is currently configured, this district closely matches Virginia's voting patterns in statewide races with nearly identical margins as the final statewide results.
The 2010 race featured incumbent Frank Wolf, Democrat Jeff Barnett and Libertarian Bill Redpath with Wolf winning re-election.
