Tim Cywinski For Congress
@votetimva.com
Reformist Democrat Running for Congress in Virginia’s 1st District. No corporate cash. No strings attached. Just a belief that people deserve A New Way Forward.
I call myself a Reformist Democrat.
That means no corporate cash, no party-over-people politics, and no pretending the system works for people when it doesn’t.
We all pay into this system.
We all contribute.
We all deserve real representation.
Reform is how we get something better.

The damage Data Centers inflict on our neighborhoods and our electric bills is a reflection of how Government allows Big Tech and Big Industry to mistreat everyday people.
And we’re told we’re not rich enough to stop them — that’s a lie.
That was my message at Data Center Lobby Day this week.

Statement on the new maps, which I support.
Let’s be clear, there’s no guarantee the amendment will pass, the GOP will spends millions fighting our effort to balance the scales.
I’m running to restore representation to the ppl of the 1st. If that hurts my chances at winning a primary so be it.

A VCU student asked me what happens when party pressure and lobbyists show up.
It’s a fair question. Here’s my answer:
Ideals are compromised only if you’re afraid to use power when you have it.
I’m not.

ICE has been used a tool for cruelty and violence against innocent people.
If one entity can do so much harm in such a short amount of time, it needs to go.

Thank you @rva-indivisible.bsky.social for organizing the MLK vigil for peace tonight.
So many people gathered to honor the legacy of champions for change & show a willingness to fight for a future we’ve longed deserved.
It was great to see @erickakopp.com & @salaambhattiva.bsky.social there too

Yesterday, I spoke at the Stop The Data Center Takeover Rally for my Job at the Virginia Sierra Club — the only way to stop Big Tech from destroying our neighborhoods is through local community resistance.
As a Congressman, I will end Big Tech’s exploitation of Va and everywhere else.

We deserve leaders who are unafraid to speak out when injustice strikes.
ICE murdered someone last week and they terrorize our neighborhoods and people of color daily.
Proud to stand alongside @salaambhattiva.bsky.social & Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs at the ICE out of VA rally.

The Supreme Court supercharged Big Money in elections with Citizens United — it’s time to balance the scales.
My public voucher plan levels the playing field by giving voters $500 every quarter to donate to candidates of their choice. It gives our tax money back to us, and strengthens are democracy

Today’s disAbility Visibility panel. I can’t thank you enough.
There are many challenges we discussed today — changing policy and perspectives was among them. That’s won’t be easy, but - like so many of our obstacles - it’s possible to overcome.
And we will. I promise to fight with you to do so.

I was recently on a panel on the harms of reckless data center growth (I was there for my job in environmental justice, not as a candidate).
No amount of 💰 from Big Tech is worth hurting communities. It’s why I've fought them so hard in Va, and why I will fight for accountability in Congress.

Big Tech’s data centers are draining our water, polluting our air, and driving up electric bills — all without any accountability or transparency.
I’ve fought back with communities in Va (and won). I’ll do it again in Congress.
It’s time for leaders who prioritize people over Big Tech profits.

Republicans like Wittman love to pretend they love our country, but there’s nothing patriotic about tax breaks for billionaires while families can’t afford basic care.
Real patriotism is believing America can do better — that we can take care of every person in this country with dignity & fairness.

Trump & Rob Wittman uphold a system built on corporate greed & political games.
But Virginia just proved that decency still matters, democracy still works, and people are ready for a new way forward.
I’m fighting for a system that works for all of us.

I'm proud that my tax dollars help feed families, and I'm not going to waste my time defending why.
Caring for kids, seniors, and people with disabilities shouldn't be controversial. Feeding families is patriotic.
So please donate to a food bank if you have the means: vafoodbanks.org

When people in power fail to listen to their constituents, it's up to us to hold them accountable.
Wittman has forgotten how to listen, and he’s not the only one.
We need to reform the rules, so we can restore representation for the rest of us — that's how we revitalize the American Dream.

We can’t build our way out of a crisis while Wall Street hoards what we’ve already built.
Housing must be preserved for people — not corporate profit.
It’s time to reform our economy so every Virginian can afford home.
No exceptions.

Everytime I speak to young people, they always ask how to hold on to hope in era of climate change and deep division.
I'm running because solutions DO exist, and I'm rejecting special interests because they deter the political will to act.

Voters deserve the truth. No spin. No script. Just who the candidates really are.

People are hungry for the fresh ideas and bold solutions young generations bring. We aren’t just the future — we’re the present. And groups like these prove the it everyday.
