Democrat Jim Moran, who has represented the 8th District since 1991, ran for re-election.

=Democratic primary=

A controversy erupted when the Democratic Party of Virginia disqualified Moran's primary challenger Shuttleworth, saying he had fallen 17 signatures short of the 1,000 threshold required. Shuttleworth filed a federal lawsuit; the party then changed course without explanation and allowed Shuttleworth on the ballot.{{cite web|last=Pershing |first=Ben |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/virginia-politics/post/jim-moran-challenger-sues-after-being-barred-from-democratic-primary-ballot/2012/04/09/gIQAJSIN6S_blog.html |title=After initial rejection, Moran challenger will be on primary ballot |work=The Washington Post |date=April 9, 2012 |access-date=2012-09-30}}
