Physician. Attorney. Advocate.
Dr. Nila Devanath brought a physician's view of healthcare, a lawyer's focus on accountability, and a Hampton Roads perspective to the 2026 race for Virginia's 2nd Congressional District.
Throughout the campaign, she centered the everyday pressures families described directly: healthcare costs, household expenses, public education, veterans' services, infrastructure, community safety, and trust in government.
