ORANGE, VA — Following a wave of campaign momentum, including strong fundraising numbers and endorsements from prominent Virginia and national conservative leaders, Special Forces Green Beret and candidate for Virginia's 7th Congressional District Derrick Anderson today was the clear winner of the first VA-07 primary forum. Anderson said: "Thanks to all the voters from the 4 counties who came to this event and participated in democracy tonight. This was a great opportunity to lay out my vision for the district that raised me: close the border, confront Joe Biden's terrible policies, and turn around the local economy. There's so much work to do, and I'll do everything I can to get the job done when I'm in Congress." The forum was held in Orange, VA at Madison on the Mill and was hosted by the Quad County Alliance, representing Madison, Culpeper, Greene, and Orange Counties. Anderson recently reported raising over $420K this past quarter, which gives him over 3.5 times cash on hand compared to his nearest opponent. Background on Anderson's VA-07 bid: Anderson has been endorsed by a strong slate of Virginia leaders, including: Rep. Jen Kiggans, Stafford County Sheriff David Decatur, Greene County Sheriff Steven Smith, Greene County Supervisor Davis Lamb, Spotsylvania County Supervisors Jake Lane and Gerald Childress, and every GOP member of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors. Anderson is also supported by national leaders, including: Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn "GT" Thompson, Sen. Tom Cotton, and a number of other prominent conservatives and elected military veterans. Derrick Anderson is a native of Spotsylvania County, a graduate of Courtland High School, was in the Corps of Cadets at Virginia Tech, and received his J.D. from Georgetown Law. He is a former Special Forces "Green Beret" with 6 tours of duty overseas, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and various countries throughout the Middle East.
