Democrats walking away from rural Virginia and walking away from rural America has gotten us to this moment. The only answer for me is to work hard everywhere and leave no community behind.

Parents who want to work cannot find care, employers lose workers, and young families are left without the basic infrastructure it takes to build a life here. On Morgan’s Watch, childcare became a rural workforce crisis. Source: Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

"Joy is the ideal candidate for this moment in the Ninth. She has long-standing roots in farming and business for generations. Along with being a fabulous person with a great story to tell, Joy embodies what it means to be a rural Virginian fighting for her home." - Anthony Flaccavento

Moms are holding this country together. But moms with kids under 18 make up only 7% of Congress. That explains a lot about how things are going in this country. Happy Mother’s Day to the moms doing the work, raising the babies, stretching the budgets, and shaping democracy.

Excited to be a part of the Rural Caucus Democratic Party of Virginia Rural Retreat this weekend alongside great candidates from across the Commonwealth!

In this Rural Powerhouse district, I am the only candidate from either side who has spent my life in Rural Virginia, fought for Rural Virginia, and advocated for Rural Virginia. I am ready for the job.

On Morgan Griffith's most recent campaign finance report, over 70% of his funding came from Corporate PACs I don't take a dime from Corporate PACs, but am asking individuals, like you, to help fuel my campaign Can you help fight against corruption by chipping in today? jp4va.com/fightcorrupt...

The first pillar of my H.O.M.E plan is Healthcare Here. It’s important we improve access and affordability for ALL healthcare services in SWVA so people can get the care they need in their home community.
