A Special Forces Green Beret veteran is joining the race to flip Virginia's 7th Congressional District from Democratic control, stating that he"could no longer remain silent on the sidelines."
"I have spent my life serving this country overseas, including combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq," Anderson said."Watching President Biden and Washington Democrats squander 22 years of sacrifices made by our service members and their families was the final straw for me." Anderson served in the U.S. Army from 2006 to 2014. He has prior experience running for national office, after launching a bid for Congress in 2022. He lost in the primary to former Republican congressional candidate Yesli Vega, whom Spanberger narrowly beat in the 2022 midterm elections.
Virginia's 7th Congressional District is one of several House seats being targeted by the Republican Party as the GOP hopes to secure a wider majority in the lower chamber of Congress. Spanberger has not made an announcement on whether she will run for reelection.
