Help Send a Fighter to Congress — Mission First.

From Food Stamps to Fighter Jets The only candidate who can flip this seat.


The most veteran-heavy congressional district in Virginia deserves a representative who's actually worn the uniform.


Veteran • Father • Fighter

Virginia's 1st District is one of the clearest paths to flipping a House seat in 2026 — but only with the right candidate.


This district is 15% veteran — twice the national average. For 19 years, Wittman has held it because no Democrat could contest him on national security. That changes now.

My Story:

I was raised by a 19-year-old single mother. We were on food stamps and Medicaid. She put herself through night school and built a career as a computer programmer — working on the Voyager and Space Shuttle programs at JPL and NASA. Her story is why I believe in what government can do when it actually works for families. My service is how I tried to repay it.


My AAA Agenda


Accountability — to you, not to the party bosses or the donor class. That includes accountability within our own party. We have to be honest about why we keep losing rooms we should be winning.

Affordability — the richest nation in human history has no excuse for Americans rationing insulin, priced out of homes, or buried by childcare costs.

Action — in the Navy, when the mission is clear, we don't form a study group. We execute. Congress needs the same discipline. One problem, one solution. No poison pills.
