"There are things happening in the world that matter, and we want to be a part of it. You may not know exactly what you’re supposed to do, but you know you can’t sit on the sidelines.

Over the weekend, the Pentagon said they’re severing relationships with dozens of universities because they're too "woke."

I'm taking a slight detour to Portugal this weekend because I've been asked to speak at the American Club of Lisbon about my run for Congress.

Stay tuned for my speech tonight.

We keep losing ground because we refuse to conduct pragmatic politics. We got so wrapped around the axel of an internal conversation, while Republicans learned the worst politics and got really good at them.

But right now, some MAGA voters know this has gone too far.

@amandasmildtakes asked why challenge Don Beyer now?

I saw some of the failures of the Democratic Party in the past, and the idea that we can keep doing what we've been doing and things will get better is kind of the definition of insanity. Easy.

Donate. Volunteer. Vote. 8 for 8. June 16.

Apparently Republicans in Congress are pressuring the FCC to investigate the Super Bowl halftime show. They aren’t serious people.

I’m running to bring seriousness back to government. If you’re frustrated, get involved.

On a recent panel with other Democratic candidates, I was asked what it’s been like to watch our country backslide.

My answer: “We are actually more durable than you think. There’s still a scrappiness to the American identity that is showing through in these moments.”

Our Super Bowl pre-game starts this Sunday at 12pm.

If you're near Clarendon Metro, drop by our ballot signature drive. We're getting closer to the 1,000 signatures needed to get into this race, but we still need your help.

Join us tomorrow at 3 pm as we go live on Instagram with Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs in Virginia’s 1st District to talk about our primary campaigns and how we’re building new coalitions for a new Democratic Party.

Bring your questions.

"Wealth, complacency and apathy have conspired to make a permanent political class that is deaf to us and blind to the future.

My campaign is about disrupting that political class. If they refuse to step aside, it is our patriotic duty to make them."

"Abolishing ICE and impeaching DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is not a Democrats or Republican issue anymore. It's the minimum position we can have to take to restore accountability, human decency, and a return to faith in the rule of law."

The Making of a Campaign

Our campaign is only a few weeks old. These early days have been an absolute blur and moving from clandestine life to public life has not been easy.

But every day, I’m inspired and humbled by the trust you all have placed in me. I won’t lose sight of that.

“Why should I change my vote from Don Beyer?”

Congressman Beyer is a good man. But “good” isn’t good enough for what we’re facing right now.

Watch this video. Give me 2 minutes to change your mind.

I’m truly honored by everyone who came out last night to support our campaign kickoff. Making so many new friends and hearing what’s important to you at a time when so many in our community are struggling was deeply humbling.

You deserve a Congressman who’s accountable only to you.

I’m not a seasoned politician or political scientist, but you don’t need a PhD to know that the Democratic Party has to evolve.

My plan is simple: 8 for 8. Eight priorities for the 8th District, focusing on affordability, accountability, and the defense of democracy.

8 for 8. June 16.

Thanks for asking, JD. Murder isn't controversial, badge or not. We had stricter rules of engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq. A former Marine sould know that.

Unmask. Arrest. Prosecute.

Stop Licking Boots,

Adam Dunigan
Democratic Candidate for Congress, VA-8

ICE murdered a woman in Minneapolis this morning. They're irredeemable and need to be abolished.

I’m Adam Dunigan and I’m running for Congress. We need a new generation of leaders who are ready to tear down corporate politics, unelected billionaires, and special interests.

Our journey to restore accountability starts this Saturday.
