Knapp and the 2026 race
Jason Knapp is running as a Democrat for the U.S. House in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
The race includes 11 candidates, all identified as Democrats: Ata-ul-salaam Bhatti, Sean Sublette, Timothy Stephen Cywinski, Lisa Vedernikova Khanna, Jason Knapp, Ericka Kopp, Lewis Littlepage, Andrew Lucchetti, Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs, Amanda Pohl and James Michael Shea.
No biography is on file for Knapp. There also are no documented policy positions or campaign finance figures on file for his candidacy. That means the official record currently establishes his name, party, office sought, district and election date, but not his personal background or views on issues.
The full candidate field
Each candidate in the race has the same categories of information on file. None has a biography, documented policy position, amount raised, amount spent or cash-on-hand figure listed.
- Ata-ul-salaam Bhatti, Democrat: No biography, documented policy positions or campaign finance figures are on file.

Policy positions and background
There are no documented policy positions on file for any candidate in this race. As a result, the record does not establish where Knapp, Bhatti, Sublette, Cywinski, Khanna, Kopp, Littlepage, Lucchetti, Beggs, Pohl or Shea stands on specific federal issues.
The same applies to candidate backgrounds. No biography is on file for any of the 11 candidates. Details such as education, employment history, prior public service or community involvement are therefore not established in the official candidate information.
A missing documented position should not be read as a candidate taking no position. It means a position is not recorded here. Likewise, the absence of a biography does not indicate whether a candidate has or lacks a particular type of experience.
Campaign finance and next steps
No funds-raised, funds-spent or cash-on-hand figures are on file for any candidate. An amount that is not on file is not the same as a reported total of zero; it means no dollar figure is listed.
For voters comparing the candidates, the central process questions are whether biographies, policy positions and campaign finance figures are added before the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. Changes to the candidate field also would affect the choices presented in the contested race. No result can be determined before voters cast ballots and election officials complete the count.
