SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VA - Today, Derrick Anderson, candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District, conceded the 7th District Republican Primary and endorsed Yesli Vega.

       "Tonight I called Yesli Vega to congratulate her on winning the Republican nomination in Virginia’s 7th district. She has my full support in defeating Abigail Spanberger. We must flip the House and reverse the path of the radical Washington Democrats that are taking our country down,” said Anderson. “To my supporters, thank you for the faith and trust you put in my campaign. Each of you played such an important role in our fight and I am eternally grateful. This district is my home. I care about every single person here, and that’s why we need new leadership representing us in Washington to get our nation back on track. America is the greatest country on Earth. The values that make it great are worth fighting for and defending. That will always be my mission.”
