So-called skill games are not a serious solution to raising revenue for our priorities. Voters view these slots-like games unfavorably by a margin of more than 2-1. They prefer fair share tax plans instead. Read the memo HERE.
New ad from Anderson
Republican nominee Derrick Anderson has launched the first TV ad in the VA-07 race. Anderson is running against the Democratic nominee, Eugene Vindman, to fill the open seat.
“We’re making sure voters know about the stark contrast between Derrick and his far-left opponent Eugene Vindman,” said Diego de la Pena, Anderson’s campaign manager. “Derrick is an independent leader from the district, while Vindman recently moved here and is running simply to hurt Donald Trump and help Joe Biden. We also want to make sure that voters know the truth about Derrick early, because we anticipate plenty of ridiculous lies coming from the Vindman camp. It’s time for an independent leader in Virginia’s 7th District, not a partisan DC-style politician.”
