| I’m coming to you as a Navy Veteran, Nurse Practitioner, GOP Congresswoman, but most importantly as a MOM. I was looking through some old photos recently and wanted to share a few with you. They help tell my story, but also explain why I’m the Democrats #1 target in the upcoming midterm elections!!  That photo above is me and my husband, Steve. He is a retired F-18 pilot, and I’m a proud Navy wife and mother to four amazing children. As the granddaughter of a veteran, daughter of a veteran, spouse of a veteran, and mother of future veterans, I come from a PROUD military family.  I also served in the Navy. That photo above is my helicopter with my call sign on it - “Blossom.” I was winged as a naval aviator in 1995 and served our nation for a total of 10 years as a helicopter pilot flying H-46 and H-3 helicopters, completing two deployments to the Persian Gulf.  After serving in the Navy, I used my GI Bill benefits to go back to school and become a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner. It was an honor to care for our Greatest Generation, and I helped them fight the system to get the healthcare they deserve. Over time, I got frustrated watching the evening news and just hearing about all the dysfunction and radical agendas in our government. But I’m not one to just complain about problems. I like to solve them. So I got off my couch, and I ran for office.  I served three sessions in the Virginia State Senate, where I used my real-world experience to actually solve problems. I was proud to champion legislation to promote election security, establish a Military Spouse Liaison, and advocate for patients, families, and caregivers in long-term care facilities. Eventually, I realized a lot of the problems facing my family, our neighbors, and our community were actually coming from Washington. We were represented by a Democrat who voted with Nancy Pelosi 99% of the time, and I felt we needed a representative who would actually put our values and community first. So, I once again decided to stop complaining and actually do something about it. So I ran for Congress!  When I commit to something, I give it my all, and that’s what we did with the campaign. We were up against a lot. National Democrats poured over $10 million into my opponent’s campaign, and big money PACs spent even more attacking me. But, we stayed focused on the task at hand and never lost sight of why I was running. On Election Night, we won by about 10,000 votes in one of the closest races in the entire nation.  And in Congress, we’ve been able to make a big impact. I’m leading the charge to lower prices, cut taxes, get better care for our veterans, support military families, and secure the border. We’re making good progress, but all our progress could be in jeopardy if we lose in the upcoming elections. See, that same Democrat I defeated in 2022 is back for revenge. She just announced her campaign against me, and she raised over $500,000 from Democrat activists in just a few days. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has announced my seat is one of their top targets, and they are already spending big on attack ads. If you want to see more regular, everyday citizens in office instead of career politicians, then I need your urgent help. Can you spare anything to help me defeat the Democrats in this #1 Battleground race? I can’t stand sending messages like this. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I never got off the couch and ran for office…but then I remember that America is always worth protecting…no matter what! Thanks for reading my message. I hope I was able to earn your support. -Jen  I would not be where I am today without the help of my incredible and faithful supporters like you. Because of your support, I can keep fighting to make our country stronger. Together we will get our country back on the right track and secure America’s success!
