Derrick Anderson for Congress: The honor of my life

Friends and neighbors,


I'm writing to say thank you all. Thank you for your support, thank you for your votes, and thank you for every second of time you spent helping me during the primary campaign. Running to represent my home district in Congress is truly the honor of my life, and I do not take it lightly.


I have fought for this country for years, and I will fight for the people of my home district in the same way. The 7th District is my home. It's the place that raised me, and I appreciate the thousands of my friends and neighbors here at home who cast their ballot for me.


I also want to thank my primary election opponents — Cameron, Jon, Maria, John, and Terris — for working so hard to make our country a better place. Speaking of opponents, I'll just say that Eugene Vindman and I are very different.


I'm from here; Vindman moved here recently to run for office. Vindman is running to continue his revenge tour against Donald Trump; I'm running to help the people I grew up with have better lives. Vindman is running to support Biden's furthest-left failures; I'm running to secure the border, take on the crime and drug crisis, and get food, health care, and energy costs down.


Vindman is so new here that he probably needs a map to find I-95; I know that I-95 is a nightmare for working people. We'll have plenty of time to talk about these differences over the next few months.


Now we're looking ahead to November. We're already running full speed ahead.
