[constituency_baseline] District summary: Virginia's 11th Congressional District encompasses most of Fairfax County in Northern Virginia, including the city of Fairfax, and is one of the wealthiest and most highly educated congressional districts in the United States. With approximately 785,090 constituents, it is a majority-minority district: 50.3% White, 22.3% Asian, and 14.8% Hispanic. Median household income is $160,992 — more than four times the national median of $37,585 — with a poverty rate of just 3.5%. Homeownership is 70% with median home values of $731,100. An extraordinary 68.3% of residents hold a bachelor's degree (vs. 33.7% nationally) and 34.2% hold post-graduate degrees. The economy is anchored by the federal government and its contractor ecosystem, technology and defense firms, and professional services. The district is heavily car-dependent (55.1% drive alone) with a 28.5-minute mean commute to Washington, D.C. Cook PVI rates the district D+34 (Solid Seat). Walkinshaw won the September 2025 special election to succeed the late Rep. Gerry Connolly with 75% of the vote. Key issues include the federal workforce, immigration policy, rent burden, and education — reflecting the district's dual identity as an affluent suburb and a diverse, immigrant-rich community.

Voted nay on H.R. 1958 (Deporting Fraudsters Act) on 2026-03-18: Walkinshaw voted nay on the Deporting Fraudsters Act. This aligns with his defense of Fairfax County's Trust Policy and his January 2026 statement that ICE should obtain judicial warrants before expecting local cooperation. The vote is constituent_aligned for his majority-minority district with 14.8% Hispanic and significant immigrant communities. Republicans have attacked him for supporting sanctuary policies, making this a cross-pressure vote between progressive immigration values and GOP criticism.

Voted aye on H.R. 556 (Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act — motion to recommit) on 2026-03-18: Walkinshaw voted aye on the Democratic motion to recommit, which sought to add provisions protecting public lands and environmental safeguards to the bill. He then voted nay on final passage. This pattern — supporting amendments that align with district values while opposing final GOP-crafted bills — is consistent with his campaign rhetoric as an anti-Trump 'resistance' Democrat.

This is constituent_aligned for his highly educated, climate-conscious district (D+34).

Voted nay on H.R. 7744 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 — rule for consideration) on 2026-03-04: Walkinshaw voted nay on both ordering the previous question and agreeing to the resolution providing for consideration of the DHS appropriations bill. This was a party-line procedural vote opposing the GOP's homeland security funding framework. Walkinshaw's district includes a significant number of federal DHS employees and contractors, but the vote also aligned with his defense of Fairfax County's Trust Policy limiting cooperation with ICE. The vote reflects the cross-pressure between federal-worker constituency interests and progressive immigration politics.

Voted nay on S. 1071 (FY2026 NDAA) (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 — rule for consideration, with collective bargaining rights provision stripped) on 2025-12-10: Walkinshaw voted nay on the rule for consideration of the NDAA after a bipartisan provision (Section 1110) restoring collective bargaining rights for civilian DOD employees was 'quietly removed from the version voted for on the House floor.' The CWA scored this as voting with working people. Walkinshaw earned a 100% CWA score for 2025, reflecting his consistent pro-labor voting record in a district where federal employees are a core constituency.
