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.

After waiting 62 days to see if Rep. McGuire, who previously defended child marriage in Virginia, would cast the necessary final vote to release the Epstein files, we finally see why. John is more loyal to Washington elites than he is to protecting young victims of sex crimes.
New Epstein emails appear to reveal more Trump ties
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released several emails from the estate of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that refer to President Trump.

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!

Happy Veterans Day to everyone who’s served, except Secretary Hegseth and Congressman John McGuire. These two are actively working to weaken our force, worsen care for veterans, and kick veterans off of their healthcare.
Exclusive: ‘She was the best man for the job’: Hegseth’s policies are forcing qualified women out of the military | CNN Politics
Active service women and men who spoke to CNN say that goals Hegseth laid out often don’t make sense and will damage the military.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is already having devastating impacts on healthcare in #va05
The bill turned on a single vote—when I oust McGuire this time next year, we’ll ensure that rural communities across this district have access to quality care and services.

Yesterday's results make it clear: we're excited for change. With Congress asleep at the wheel, voters want representation that shows up to work. We’re ready to flip #VA05 to stand up for healthcare, good jobs, and a future where working people get ahead. One year until we win this race.

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.

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.

Congratulations y’all!
News of a child on the way should be a joy. For too many folks our age, it brings fear: how will we afford childcare? Do we have to move for schools? Can I take time from work?
It should be easier to fill out homes with children’s laughter than with handwringing and debt.

Things around here just got a little bit more interesting...
I'm running for Congress because the rest of us can use a break. Especially if you've got a growing family.

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

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.

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.

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.
