Husband. 👬 Veteran. ⚓️ Civil Rights Attorney. 👨🏼‍⚖️ Albemarle County Supervisor, Scottsville District. 🏛️ Candidate for Congress in VA-05 🇺🇸
I'm running to make John McGuire a 1 term Congressman. When I say I'll fight for our rural health access, I actually mean it. Read my full editorial in the Progress here ⬇️

Again, Rep. McGuire shows that he doesn’t believe in anything. He voted to cut healthcare subsidies. He kept the government closed because he refused to budge on healthcare subsidies. And now that he sees a poll, he’s saying he wants healthcare subsidies.

Cowardly. Shameless.

Loved talking with folks in South Boston! Great meeting wonderful people in every corner of #va05.

And always a treat to bump into my friend Dr. Gary Miller!

Honored to have the support of these community leaders and public servants throughout #VA05.

From Chase City in the Southside to Buckingham County to the Charlottesville metro area, I'm proud to have earned over 30 endorsements since launching. This team is growing and getting stronger every day!

And my dad just lost his job of 42 years because of private equity stripping a classic Richmond family company for parts, packaging it for resale & merger. The enemy of workers ain’t other workers—it’s the millionaires and accountants who see us as lines on a balance sheet.

Delighted to be invited as a guest judge for St. John’s Memorial Church’s annual chili cook off. And congratulations to City Councilor Lloyd Snook for winning the grand prize!

As always, I will happily offer my opinions and criticism in exchange for food.

Great to honor this Veterans Day with community members dedicated to service. Enjoyed talking to fellow Veterans and local elected officials who call #VA05 home!

I’ve been a little under the weather the past several days, so Halloween has mostly involved puttering around the house and watching scary movies. But I still had to break out the matching dragon costumes for me and Jo. Hope all of #va05 has a safe and happy Halloween!

Over the last week, I’ve watched my community scramble. Food pantries, churches, and neighbors have braced to support the thousands of Albemarle residents afraid of going without food. Rep. McGuire peacocking at a food bank while his inaction makes folks go hungry is the darkest irony I can imagine.

Great weekend running into @amylaufer55 early voting and launching student canvassers! One more week of early voting—make your voice heard, #VA05!

Little did I know while filming this little vid that Jo would then TERRORIZE me for the rest of the day during call time.

As a Duke and UVA alum, I sometimes have divided loyalties. But either way, GTHC is a lifestyle.

By now y’all have probably heard the news about redistricting. This may change the #VA05 but it ain’t changing this race.
I’m going to keep fighting for working class folks.
I’m going to keep fighting for left behind rural communities.
And by God, we’re gonna win, whatever the district lines are.
October 25, 2025 at 5:27 PM
The same corporations that want to gut this district bankroll my opponent’s campaign. Unlike McGuire, we can’t take shortcuts. Our momentum is testament to regular folks who believe in our vision. People know we can plant the seeds for a more just America in VA05.

THANK YOU to this team.

Had an absolute blast at Batesville’s apple butter weekend. Shout out to the Batesville Ruritans and local community for keeping this small town magic and tradition alive
October 12, 2025 at 4:20 PM
This campaign is about believing in a better future, and knowing we can build that right here in #VA05

We are coming together and planting the seeds for a stronger, more just America in every community from South Hill to Farmville to Bedford and everywhere in between.

I regret to inform y’all that until we meet our Q3 target I have put Jo in JAIL.
Unfortunately her key costs $5,000. Together we can free her! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Loved talking with @varuralhealth about unique challenges central and Southside communities are facing.

Check out the podcast episode for more on the lack of redundancy in rural healthcare and how both parties in Congress are failing on these issues: vrha.org/2025/09/19/r...

Loved visiting Danville last Friday to talk with Dr. Gary Miller and area nonprofit leaders. As economic opportunity comes to Danville and beyond, increased housing prices follow--we need to invest early in maintaining safe and affordable housing for our communities.

Beautiful country.

It’s our unofficial slogan on the road, and it’s what this campaign is about.
September 23, 2025 at 10:56 PM
Great meeting with folks in Rustburg last week! Loved discussing how to invest in our communities in ways that balance opportunity with quality of life.
September 20, 2025 at 10:32 PM
There’s a fire burning throughout VA05. And we’re bringing it to every corner. #va05

While John McGuire will only answer voters' questions from his DC office 100 miles away, when I say I'm hosting a town hall, I'll look you in the eye and mean what I say.
September 17, 2025 at 1:19 AM
Timing and location update! Join us in person or virtually for a town hall dial in and response - stay tuned for streaming details on this platform and others!

Amazing grassroots energy in one of Virginia’s most beautiful corners! Loved chatting with the folks in Nelson county who’ve been defending this pocket of natural beauty for generations.
