Today, I’m ending my campaign for Virginia’s First Congressional District.

Read my press release below:

As a mom, I see firsthand how rising costs are hurting families. The Trump/Wittman agenda is failing us, giving tax breaks to billionaires while we struggle. It's time for real leadership in the 1st CD—that’s why I’m running.

Folks, our campaign only continues to surge — gaining support from trusted voices across our Commonwealth.

I’m grateful to every person on this list for joining #TeamPohl and for endorsing my vision to flip VA-01.

We need people in congress that are going to stand up to Donald Trump – I’ve done it and I’m going to continue to do it.

To keep up this work I could use your help. Can you donate $10 right now? If not, share with 3 friends.

Wittman purposefully sows disinformation across #VA01. His latest post is a prime example. Here's why. 1/🧵

Amanda Pohl, candidate for congress in VA01, joining the fight for the people, with the people.

Amanda Pohl for Congress @pohlforcongress.bsky.social · Jul 3

Just joined folks from across the district in Henrico to protest Rob Wittman’s Big, Ugly Bill of Betrayal to us.

I’m committed to fighting back against folks like Wittman who only serve themselves — not the people.

I still have more calls to make for our first end-of-quarter deadline.

I’d love to get back to finishing the puzzle with my kids before they get to bed but, I need some more donations.

Can you donate $25 before our deadline? Link to donate is below ⬇️

Amanda Pohl checking in again 👋

I know these asks are getting old, but we have just a few hours left before our FIRST end-of-quarter deadline.

Chip in to my campaign RIGHT NOW so we can send Wittman a message: it's time to start packing!

25 days ago I announced my campaign against Trump loyalist, Rob Wittman. During this time I have connected with folks from York to Henrico hearing their issues and what is pushing them.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for every supporter I have met along the way #TeamPohl
