Tonight, Derrick Anderson secured the Republican nomination in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District — and he is going to have a serious problem in the general election explaining his anti-abortion, ultra-Trumpy, pro-billionaire agenda.
“Derrick Anderson spent the primary proving his right-wing bonafides, and now he’ll have to explain to voters why he wants to take away their reproductive freedoms and why he supports a presidential candidate who tried to overthrow the government,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Philip Shulman. “Instead of addressing Virginians’ needs, we can count on Derrick Anderson to continue spewing national GOP talking points about ending abortion access and destroying our democracy — all while giving massive handouts to billionaires.”
Additional Background:
- Derrick Anderson proclaimed he was “pro-life” and applauded the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
- Anderson is facing serious questions about whether he gamed the system and is lying about his residency.
- Despite Trump’s previous attacks on veterans, Anderson eagerly endorsed the now-34-count felon.
