Former Special Forces soldier launches campaign in Virginia to flip swing House seat from Democrats
Fox News
Former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier Derrick Anderson has joined the race to flip Virginia's 7th Congressional District, a top Republican target, from the Democrats in 2024.
"I have spent my life serving this country overseas, including combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. 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 said.

"President Biden and career politicians are putting politics and their own gains in front of fighting for what’s best for the American people: safer streets, better paying jobs and cheaper goods, a secure border and an education system that teaches our children how to think, not what to think," he said.
