I’m running for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District because families and workers deserve a fair shot. Costs keep rising while salaries aren’t - and MAGA Republicans are cutting food & health care to fund corporate tax breaks instead of defending Virginia’s families.

Trump feasts, others suffer

Trump is helping Putin, Saudi Princes, & Argentinians. But not his own people! Must be some really selfish reasons!

Perfect illustration of why MAGA is failing. It’s never been about helping the public, only about protecting Trump and his inner circle. Time to organize for 2026 and build something real for the people!

The voters have spoken. Feed the people, not the billionaires.
Reopen the government. Extend health and food benefits.

Republican Congress Members! Listen to the people and show some spine against your GREEDY BILLIONAIRE MASTERS. Or else you will end up out in the cold and on the trash heap of history.

Greedy billionaire-supported MAGAs, break laws on an ongoing basis. Support legal champion organizations, that provide significant protection from illegal actions.

Each day brings fresh evidence that Trump is no longer in control of himself or his supposed administration. His public behavior grows more erratic and detached from reality,
Who is ready to admit this?
