It’s the end of the quarter. And it’s the last quarter before early voting.
It’s a make or break moment for us.

Can you donate today to help us end strong, get media, and earn endorsements?

We’re fighting for popular policies:

Medicare for all
Tax the billionaires
Campaign finance reform

This is where you come in.

And that’s the energy we’re taking into Congress.

The party wants people who can fundraise.
But the people need someone who knows what they need.

I’m not here to be the party’s favorite, I’m here to be the people’s favorite.

Here’s the plan.

But it didn’t deter me.

I didn’t become a lawyer to make dollars, I became one to make change.

I’ve fought and won for tens of thousands of families and children in VA by expanding SNAP and free school meals.

We increased TANF cash assistance by historic amounts twice.

Repealed racist laws.

I’ve grown up in poverty, benefiting from WIC and free school meals.

I ate peanut m&ms for breakfast while struggling through law school.

I made more money than my parents ever did and yet we still lived paycheck to paycheck.

The situation in our nation couldn’t be more dire. The Democratic Party doesn’t seem to understand what the people need because they’re clouded by what their mega donors want.

I’m not fogged up like that.

Here’s why.

What’s the best way a candidate can get in touch with you?

If you got a text from a candidate in your district inviting you to check out his website’s issues page, would you be cool with that?

No fundraising ask.

I’ve realized why Republicans haven’t spoken out against the costs of gas and everything increasing.

It’s because Muslims are getting killed.

As long as someone they consider lesser is suffering more than them, they’re fine with it. It’s a core part of the book Dying of Whiteness.

I'm still scarred from the horrific war crimes the US committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Invading Iran will result in more crimes against humanity - girls and their families will suffer as a few billionaires in America get richer.

We must stop the war on Iran - otherwise it will be our end.

Daily operations in Iran cost $60 million.
Meanwhile, in 2025, American families struggled with $25 million in school meal debt.

Half a day in Iran would have settled the debt at home.

Donate to Salaam for Congress! He’s a husband, a dad, a fighter for working families, and he’s not taking a dime from corporate PACs. He’s running to make groceries affordable, protect health care, and stand up to the billionaires ...

Early dollars in primaries count.
If you’re waiting to give to our campaign, there’s no time to wait.

We have 5 months left in Virginia.

5 months of handing out signs, knocking thousands of doors, staffing events, and so much more.

Lock in!

No money to build housing for the poor and homeless.
Plenty of money to build prisons for them.

No money for USAID to help people overseas.
Plenty of money to bomb people overseas.

When an economy is built by billionaire pedophiles, that’s why there’s profit in punishment.

Bringing 18F back is a nerd priority for me in Congress.

If you know nothing about them, they helped me create what is now SNAPscreener.com.

They’re efficient, they made useful things, and that’s why they were fired.
