Our April numbers are down

I’ll keep this quick and to the point. Our mid-month fundraising deadline is at midnight tonight, and currently our April numbers aren’t where they need to be. Will you make a donation to Congressman Scott’s re-election campaign today and help us close the gap?     …

It’s official: I’m the nominee.

Now that the filing deadline has passed, I’m officially the Democratic Nominee for Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District. Which means we can focus all of our attention now towards winning this November.     John,   Now that the filing deadline has passed, I’m o…

Thank you all!

I wanted to reach out today on behalf of Bobby to thank you all for the incredible support this campaign is receiving. We had a great quarter for digital fundraising, and that’s because of you. It’s beyond important that Congressman Scott wins re-election. And with all of your support I’m confi…

The chaos continues...

Despite being barely able to keep the Government from shutting down, the GOP seems committed to continuing their chaos as usual. The Democrats are the clear adults in the room, while toddler tantrums run rampant in the GOP controlled House.     John,   Despite …

We should be bragging more

In President Biden’s State of the Union address, he reminded Americans about the incredible work of this administration. With a Democratic majority we were able to safely reopen schools, make historic investments in public education, and save the private pensions of nearly a million retirees. …

The GOP’s playbook

In all my years in public service, I’ve never seen such incompetence and failed governing as we’re seeing under current GOP leadership in the House of Representatives. Their playbook seems to be offering complaints instead of policy proposals, failing to be willing to come to a consensus, and t…

Donald Trump

As it becomes more clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for President, we must brace ourselves for the political chaos that will follow. Instead of productive policies that would actually help the American people, the MAGA platform is nothing but complaining, shouting, and nam…

I don’t like doing this

It will probably come as no surprise that I don’t like asking for money. I’d much rather be spending my time representing Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District in Washington. But in order to do that, I need to win my re-election.     John,   It will probably com…

Right now we are dealing with the least productive Congress in a generation. Even Republicans are fed up. Rep Chip Roy of Texas said it best, “One thing. I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing. One. That I can go campaign on and say we did. One! Anybody sitting in the complex, if …

Congratulations to Virginia Democrats!

In the face of one of the most consequential elections in Virginia’s history, Virginia Democrats showed up. Keeping a majority in the State Senate and taking control of the Virginia House will stop the GOP’s extreme agenda from becoming law. This is what happens when voters are mobilized, energ…

Happy Election Day! With the entire Virginia Legislature up for grabs, the impacts of this election are going to be felt for years to come. A razor thin Senate majority has been the only thing preventing an extreme MAGA agenda from becoming law, and now Republicans are trying to take control of…
