Virginia's ninth congressional district is a United States congressional district in the Commonwealth of Virginia, covering much of the southwestern part of the state. The 9th is Virginia's second-largest district in area, covering 9,113.87 square miles . Since 2011 it has been represented by Morgan Griffith , who took office after defeating Rick Boucher , the district's representative for 1983–2011.
The Ninth was the most competitive congressional district in the early the 20th century, when Virginia was among the Solid South states. For twenty years , it was the only congressional district in Virginia - and one of the few in the entire former Confederacy - to be represented by a Republican. The district alternated between Democratic and Republican representation over the rest of the century. Some of the election results were so close - and questionable - that the district became known as "The Fighting Ninth."
