Transcript:
Years ago, my father, a law enforcement officer,
wrote to my sisters and me, “there’s no greater vocation than service to country.”
So, when I joined law enforcement, then CIA and now Congress…
I swore an oath to the Constitution to put country first, before party…
And to get things done.
Increase police funding…
Compete with China…
Stop congressional pay raises and insider stock trading.
Because I serve Virginia, not myself.
That’s why I approve this message. I’m Abigail Spanberger.
