Celebrating the Navy’s 250th at our East Coast Master Jet Base.
Even these nukes can enjoy a fantastic air show.
Today we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families and loved ones who still carry unimaginable grief.
We'll never forget their sacrifice. And we must continue to work toward a future worthy of their memory.
@avindman.bsky.social knows the importance of standing up, speaking out, and putting country and Constitution first.
Honored to have his endorsement.
My opponent Jen Kiggans is ducking responsibility, avoiding her constituents, and clearly terrified of what her vote for the Big Ugly Bill means.
If she won't keep VA-02 informed of what's really going on – I will.
Anything short of standing firmly against an expansionist Russia, with a corrupt leader responsible for unspeakable devastation, would be a historic betrayal of our values, our commitment to safeguarding freedom, and our global leadership.
I'm a proud Ukrainian. I'm a veteran of the United States Navy.
Let’s be clear – Donald Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin has the potential to be a disaster.

I served as a submariner the Navy – the Silent Service – under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. I always put the mission first.
But democracy is under attack. Our hospitals and healthcare are getting slashed. Silence won’t serve this moment.
That’s why I’m running to flip VA-02.
I served my country in the Navy. Now I'm running to serve it in Congress.
Because we need leaders who will work tooth and nail to deliver for our district – not rubber stamp the worst impulses of Donald Trump.
I'm tired of Democrats relying on strongly worded letters.
That's not fight. That's not effective.
I am spending every day meeting voters in VA-02, in-person, online, and however I can – so we can flip this district, flip the House, and put a stop to the chaos in DC.
Right now, Rep. Jen Kiggans should be in Washington D.C, doing the job we sent her there to do. Advocating for VA-02.
Instead, she voted to cut thousands of her constituents’ healthcare – then skipped town so she doesn’t have to vote to release the Epstein files.
We deserve better.
"So when Kiggans cast her vote, she voted to rip away the many levels of support that keep people like me alive each and every day."
Thank you for speaking up, Arlid. This is a tragic and necessary read.
Our district deserves better.

Jen Kiggans just left DC for summer vacation early – along with the rest of House Republicans.
She found the time to cut our healthcare and close our hospitals, but ran away when her constituents demanded the truth and needed her most.
Backwards priorities. I'm running to defeat her.
Meet Jen Kiggans.
In 2022, she flipped VA-02. When she arrived in DC, she abandoned our district – and rubber-stamped the worst of Donald Trump's agenda.
I'm running to defeat her.
In the district that could decide control of the House – we can't afford more of the same. And silence won't serve this moment.
We need leaders who aren't just against what's happening right now – but actually offering something better.
That's exactly why I'm running.
Virginia’s Second Congressional District is one of the nation’s top toss-up seats.
Last year, it was decided by 722 votes at the top of the ticket.
I just launched my campaign to flip it.
What a day.
When I served under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, I stayed silent – not because I wasn’t proud, but because I had a duty to my country. The mission came first.
But silence won’t meet this moment.
Today I’m launching my campaign to flip VA-02.
Let’s raise our voices, together.
Last week, Rep. Jen Kiggans voted to cut healthcare for thousands of her constituents. Our community.
I can't stand by and watch our elected officials abandon our people.
Today I’m launching my campaign to defeat her.
My name is James Osyf. I’m a Navy veteran.
I've lived the Silent Service, but this moment demands something different.
Today, I’m announcing my campaign to flip VA-02 – because we can no longer afford to be silent.
In 2017 and 2018, @vademocrats.bsky.social wrote the playbook for how to win hard seats – then govern like we mean it.
In 2025 and 2026, the stakes have never been higher.
I'm hopeful and energized to see Democrats already showing up and organizing.
