Hi, my name is Beth Macy, and you might know me as the author of Dopesick , Factory Man , and Paper Girl .

Now I’m reintroducing myself, because I’m running for Congress right here in VA-06 — the beautiful district my husband and I call home. I’m hoping, with your help, we can fire MAGA extremist Ben Cline, and flip VA-06 from red to blue.

Are you in? You can become a founding donor to my campaign today by splitting a contribution between my campaign and Democratic Values right now. Whether you donate $50, $25, or even $10, every dollar counts as we launch this historic campaign! [[link removed]]

Growing up, I didn’t have it easy. My mother worked in a factory, and my father was chronically unemployed due to his alcoholism. My mother sometimes struggled to pay our bills and put food on the table — two things that I know people in VA-06 are no strangers to.

But I was made by my community — the teachers and adults in my life who helped me thrive in school and apply for college scholarships. I became the first person in my family to go to college and I went on to become an award winning newspaper writer, and at the age of 50, best selling author. It felt miraculous.

I’m a product of the American Dream.

But it’s becoming increasingly harder to forge a better life. College tuition has tripled, healthcare is more expensive than ever, and the middle class is disappearing right before our eyes.

As a journalist for forty years, I’ve always sought to hold power accountable. From covering stories about addiction to offshoring jobs to civil rights, I’ve never been afraid to ruffle feathers and tell the unvarnished truth.

It’s that passion for listening and honesty that I will bring with me to Congress to fight for the people of VA-06. And it’s never been more needed.

For the past seven years, Ben Cline has refused to stand up for us in Congress — a job teed up for him by his father-in-law and wealthy elites. Instead, he’s supported tariffs, raising healthcare premiums, tax cuts for the ultra-rich, and gutted SNAP benefits. What kind of leadership is that?

His time is up.

So, John, if like me, you believe VA-06 is ready for change, will you pitch in today and split a contribution with my campaign and Democratic Values? We can build a real movement of every day Virginians who are just as fired up as I am. [[link removed]]
