Dustin Wade—also known to many as Dustin Cox—and I’m running to represent all of us in the Virginia House of Delegates.
I’ve survived poverty. I’ve rebuilt after fire. I’ve cared for others as a nurse and mental health professional. And now, I’m raising four children—two with IEPs—in the very school system that raised me.
This is my story. It's not red or blue—it's real. And it’s why I’m the only candidate on the June ballot who can truly say: I know this district, because I am this district.
To my Democratic friends, I’ve fought for our most vulnerable every day of my life. To my Republican friends, you know I’m a moderate who believes in family, faith, and service over politics.
This district may flip. Virginia has open primaries. So no matter your party, you can help decide which Democrat moves forward. Choose the one you know. The one with roots here. The one who never left.
Vote June 17. Early voting begins May 2.
