Our first FEC report in a few days

  John, The first filing deadline of the year is quickly approaching, and it looks like we’re on track to meet our goal, but we’re not quite there yet. Your support in 2018 and 2020 helped ensure we could communicate with voters across our ten counties and propel our campai…

Starting early

  John, In 2017, I decided to run for Congress because I wanted to serve the community where I grew up, and I wanted to dive deep on the policy issues that would directly impact people’s lives. Flipping and now holding a district as competitive as Virginia’s 7th is not easy…

The fragility of our democracy

bringing dangerous misinformation to VA-07
