The Woodbridge District spoke โ€” and the community answered.
Across the Woodbridge District, leaders and residents have made it clear: racism, antisemitism, misogyny, and anti-American hate have no place in our community. State and local elected officials from across Prince William County have publicly denounced Muhammed Sef Casimโ€™s hateful statements, and our campaign moved quickly to stand with the people of the Woodbridge District.
Since then, we have been overwhelmed by the outreach and support.
Neighbors, faith leaders, veterans, families, and community members from every background are uniting around one simple message:
The Woodbridge District will not stand for hate.
But this moment requires action.

This election is more than politics.
It is our communityโ€™s opportunity to stand up โ€” clearly and forcefully โ€” against racism and hate.
If every supporter votes and helps turn out just five more voters, we will win.

Trump leaves Ukraine in the lurch and then has to ask them to help us.

The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas, a State I LOVE and won 3 times in Record Numbers (the HIGHEST vote ever recorded, by far!!!), cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer. IT MUST STOP NOW! We have an easy to beat, Radical Left Opponent, and we have to TOTALLY FOCUS on putting him away, quickly and decisively! Both John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT! My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable! It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I donโ€™t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE! Is that fair? We must win in November!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
