Our district is hurting. People feel it in their hearts and in their aching backs. We’re not helpless – we’re mad. That’s a fire I understand, because it burns in me too. My name is Mike Pruitt. I’m a Navy veteran, a civil rights lawyer, and now I’m running for Congress.
Less than two years after winning elected office for the first time in an uncontested race, Albemarle County Supervisor Mike Pruitt is running for Congress.

Another day, another chance for @RepJohnMcGuire (who previously supported keeping child marriage legal in VA) to release the Epstein files. Semper fortis, John—I still believe you have the courage somewhere deep down there. But maybe we should ask @BobGood4America instead?

Fundraising goal reached—she’s free! More than reached, actually. Thanks to y’all’s help, this campaign has raised more from donors at this stage than any Dem in this district since Rep. Perriello. I don’t have Wall Street zillionaires in my Rolodex, and I’ve never been able to

This is a disgraceful message. There was a soldier that I served with in the army that later was killed in Mosul, Iraq that said the reason he joined the military was because he believed that it was the greatest force for good that the world has ever known. He said the military

Vets, I want y’all to remember the most tedious, pointless all-hands call of your careers. Standing at attention on a flight deck in the sun. Now imagine instead you’re a flag officer and you just left your post on an overnight taxpayer funded jet. All so that a washed out O4
Hegseth: No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression. We don’t have a military full of Nordic pagans.

Loved talking with @VaRuralHealth about unique challenges central and Southside communities are facing. Check out the podcast episode for more on the lack of redundancy in rural healthcare and how both parties in Congress are failing on these issues: https://t.co/IrxBV036Q2

Loved visiting Danville last Friday to talk with Dr. Gary Miller and area nonprofit leaders. As economic opportunity comes to Danville and beyond, increased housing prices follow--we need to invest early in maintaining safe and affordable housing for our communities.

While @RepJohnMcGuire will only answer voters' questions from his DC office 100 miles away, when I say I'm hosting a town hall, I'll look you in the eye and mean what I say.
Thank you to everyone who joined my Telephone Town Hall tonight! It was great hearing from so many constituents across VA-05. As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or need help from a federal agency, please reach out to my office. We are here to assist you. It is an
