War of 1812

Current reporting has Democrat Suhas Subramanyam winning Virginia’s District 10 election to the U. S. House of Representatives by 51.9 percent of 207,138 votes cast.* In 1807 Buckland’s John Love, like Mr. Subramanyam, was a first-timer. He won election in Virginia’s 9th Congressional District, which included Fauquier and Culpeper Counties, with 60.5 percent of the 1312 votes cast. He was a Democratic Republican, the party of Thomas Jefferson, who was then in his second term as President. Two years later, Love won reelection, apparently without serious opposition, but lost his bid for a third term.
