Northern Virginians head to the polls on Tuesday to vote in Republican primaries for the U.S. Senate race in Virginia and a Democratic primary for the 8th congressional district.

Republican Primary - Senate

In the Senate Republican Party primary, voters across the state will choose among George F. Allen, Jamie L. Radtke, R.G. "Bob" Marshall and E.W. Jackson. The winner will run against Democrat Tim Kaine.

Democratic Primary - Eighth Congressional District

For the 8th congressional district, a Democratic Party Primary ballot pits longtime incumbent James P. "Jim" Moran Jr. against newcomer Bruce B. Shuttleworth. The victor will face Republican J.
