Even though I’m not in the 1st district I plan to provide support to Whitman’s opponent. Thank you for providing this information on Salaam. He sounds exceptionally qualified and I will visit his website.

Qasim, miss you in Fredericksburg!

Just Donated! I just wanted to say I don't live in Virginia but I remember when you first ran for Congress and have been following you ever since. Infact I wouldn't even know Substack existed without you. Good Luck! 🤞

Republicans are undoing all of our progress. I cannot sit idly by while they actively harm my neighbors.

I made a small $10 contribution with hopes that many contributions will add up. I have been giving some money to Blue Dots in red states but we will be in full retirement within the year. This is a scary thought under the current tyrant illegitimate White House occupants.

We have so many good people out there who will put an end to selfish greedy GOP. I have found people of color to be especially in tune to treating all people with respect because they have felt the brunt side of this. It is heartwarming to me to see them finds ways to better the lives of everyone rather than sink into vengeful actions. That’s what brings people around…experiencing a better life, a safer feel, a healthy life, belonging and acknowledged to the community.

We’re going to do this!

Good point. That kind of humor is one more reason people should vote for you. Have you ever noticed people on the right have no sense of humor? They think they're funny, but they're not.

As you know, Zelenskyy was a comedian who became a great leader, so may you take after him. I think it's because comedians understand that current politics is such a joke. LOLOL
