Thank you to the 9th District voters. Thank you to my incredible staff. Thank you to all those that volunteered for my campaign. Thank you to my family and friends for believing in me. I’m not going anywhere.

This came up in my memories and I had to share. Last August, I shot this clip of Karen Baker & @Sam_Rasoul w/ the crowd erupting with energy in the rural red 9th District. Times are tough now, but moments like this remind me why we keep fighting, even in rural Southwest Virginia.

These past 9 months have been absolutely incredible. Meeting folks across the 9th has shown me the strength and drive of SWVA. No matter the outcome, I am grateful for every story shared, every handshake, and every bit of support. Together, we've built something truly special.

Access to quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Too many in SWVA are forced to travel hours for basic care or go without it altogether. If elected, I will be committed to expanding local healthcare options so every family can get the treatment they need close to home.

Always great to be in Grundy! I spoke at the Buchanan County Democrats Rally and Luncheon at Grundy High School this afternoon. These folks are fired up and ready for change!

Every student in Southwest Virginia deserves the chance to learn skills that lead to high-paying, stable jobs. Expanding tech and trade education is an investment in our future. I will always fight for opportunity and growth right here at home.

I spent the afternoon in Dublin at the 13th Annual Christmas Shoppe. Talked to so many voters who wished they had a congressperson more focused on their district.

Always a blast to be in Smith Mountain Lake for their 31st Annual Chili Festival. Talked to so many voters about the lack of leadership in the 9th District. Amazing chili as well!
