Candidate Spotlight

Last year, we endorsed Dr. Kermit Jones for Congress based on the strength of his character and his track record of servant leadership. The tragedy of 9/11 struck during Kermit's third year of medical school; wanting to do his part to serve his country, Kermit joined the U.S. Navy as a flight surgeon. He continued his service as a White House Fellow after leaving the military, and his resume speaks for itself. But like any first-time candidate, Kermit faced major challenges in this race due to running in a challenging district with an entrenched incumbent, and the daunting task of fundraising for a major campaign.

Now, that’s changing: after two successful fundraising quarters, and an eight point swing in Dr. Kermit's favor in redistricting, the incumbent Congressman decided to run in a different district rather than face Dr. Kermit. His campaign's base of support continues to grow as voters learn more about his record of service and his post-partisan vision of putting service to his community over his own self-interest.
