Navy veteran Hung Cao, a Republican who lost a closer-than-expected race for a US House seat in Virginia last year, has formally announced a challenge to Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine
“We are losing our country,” Cao said in an announcement video. “I still believe America can be the land of opportunity. I have an obligation to fight back against those who want to control our lives and disrupt our families. We need real fighters, not politicians, not bureaucrats, not keyboard warriors acting tough in a custom-made suit.” Cao ran against Democratic Rep. Jennifer Wexton last fall in Virginia’s blue-leaning 10th Congressional District, anchored in the suburbs of Washington, DC.
He also focused on education issues, speaking out against classroom instruction on critical race theory and pandemic restrictions in schools, including mask mandates – issues Republican Glenn Younkin campaigned on in his successful gubernatorial win in 2021. Recently, he has celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision to gut affirmative action in college admissions. “When my family escaped communism in 1975, we believed America was the last best hope for freedom and opportunity in the world.
