The race became one of the most expensive primaries in the state because of money contributed by clean energy group Clean Virginia and utility provider Dominion Energy.[4] Despite the flood of outside money, King won with 67.77%-32.23%.[5]

In the November General Election, King ran successfully won a full term against Republican Gina Ciarcia, a history teacher at a private Christian school.[6]
