I was RIF’d by the State Department for my role in countering white supremacy. Now I’m running to represent Virginia’s 8th Congressional District. www.duffin4va.com
I have started a petition asking @beyer.house.gov to oppose any and all funding bills or continuing resolutions containing funding for DHS until the full House of Representatives are allowed to vote on impeaching Secretary Noem.” Please join me in signing this petition at
www.impeachkristinoem.com.

I’m a RIF’d Fed running for Congress as a Dem in Virginia’s 8th District. I can’t make fundraising calls today as I’m watching my kids as it’s a snow day in Northerm Virginia. Can you help me out by contributing $1 or more at www.duffin4va.com?

As a former State Department official, I try not to engage in hyperbole. I see similarities to France in 1789 and Russia in 1917, but I don’t think the same outcome will happen given that they were much different eras than today.

I have started a petition demanding that @beyer.house.gov support and cosponsor House Resolution 996, "Impeaching Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors." Please sign it at www.impeachkristinoem.com

The spillage of sewage into the Potomac River is unacceptable. Reelecting politicians who have accepted campaign contributions from utility companies won’t bring accountability. I’m running for change, accountability, reform. www.duffin4va.com

I developed the first programs to counter white supremacy overseas, and I know what it takes to counter hate-motivated violence and will bring this expertise to Congress. www.duffin4va.com

Six months after Trump fired 1,100+ State Department officials, diplomacy still matters. The Trump administration talks tough, but it’s Millennials and Gen Z who will be fighting their wars. We need a former diplomat in Congress who will prioritize peace. @aaronparnas.bsky.social @atrupar.com

My latest video “Beyer Wolf” focuses on how @beyer.house.gov
has spoken more about butterflies & wolves than the plight of fired Feds like me and thousands of other constituents. I love the environment and believe Beyer should retire to focus his time and fortune on this issue. #RetireBeyer

I respect the Second Amendment and am grateful for responsible gun owners, which is why I am for common sense legislation to ensure we have fewer mass shootings. It’s only a matter of time before gun violence comes to your community and your family (if it hasn’t already). www.duffin4va.com
