Disgraceful inaction

{NAME} – When our leaders in Congress fail to act, people are hurt. We saw that on full display earlier last month when the Affordable Connectivity Program expired. This federal subsidy has helped 22 million lower-income households (including one in seven Virginia households) afford broadband internet since 2020. House Republicans refused to fund it further because they'd sooner throw working families under the bus than give a "win" to our economy in an election year. I'm running to keep VA-07 blue and make sure Democrats can flip the House in November – because as long as Republicans remain in control, we'll continue to see disgraceful inaction on the issues that matter.

This is the struggle that so many Americans still face, especially in rural areas. Our government has a duty to make sure they don't fall behind. The internet connects us to jobs, to food, to financial services, to each other, and so much more. Internet access is an opportunity – and no one should be denied that opportunity because of extreme political games. Working folks are sick and tired of the politicians who take their livelihoods for granted. I'm in this race because Virginians — and people everywhere — need representatives who will put their interests first.
