I’m standing with Joe Biden. Will you?

  John, Vice President Joe Biden has the empathy, decency, and heart for the American people that we need in the White House, and I am proud to support his candidacy. Joe has frequently said that our country’s best days lie ahead, and I deeply believe that to be true.  I also know that…

did you see NYT’s top story?

  John, This was the New York Times’ top story this weekend: I didn’t need to read the story to know exactly what it was about because my 2018 campaign was targeted and the Times detailed it. This is what we’re up against. Instead of campaigning on ideas and solutions to our n…

Help me support Abigail Spanberger’s campaign

before the end of the day

  John, In 2018, I became the first Democrat to win Virginia’s 7th district since 1968. I won because I listened and heard the stories, concerns, and hopes of those I hoped to represent, and I let their stories drive me on the campaign trail and in my work in Congress. I met people wher…

Trump’s budget

“disgraces”?!
