2020 U.S. House election in Virginia's 5th district

Republican convention

Good faced incumbent establishment-leaning Republican representative Denver Riggleman, who was elected in the 2018 Midterms with 53% of the vote.[2] This was after Riggleman had previously been censured by Virginia Republicans for "abandoning party principles"[3] pushed for raising immigration levels,[4] and officiated a same-sex "wedding".[5] Endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz,[6] Good won the convention in a surprise upset;[7] the over-confident Riggleman blamed his defeat on "voting irregularities and ballot stuffing", to which Good responded:

That's what losers say.[8]

Riggleman was previously accused by his House predecessor Tom Garrett of threatening him for supporting Good.[9]

Some compared Riggleman's surprise defeat to the ousting of then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in 2014 by Dave Brat;[10] both Good and Brat had won in major upsets despite being heavily outspent by their incumbent opponents.\

After losing, Riggleman decided to contradict Donald Trump over QAnon, joining Democrat Tom Malinowski in introducing a resolution to condemn the anti-pedophilia group.[11]
