Nearly 500,000 live and work in this southern oasis, participating in industries like real estate, defense, and tourism that puts the city on the map.

Although Virginia was a close one, Virginia Beach residents participated in a valiant effort to move their city closer to Democratic influence. 44 percent of the vote was not enough to turn this state blue in the 2020 election, yet Virginia Beach residents may continue employing future efforts to swing the state.
