Get StartedVirginia remains the only state in the South with no abortion bans—that’s why in Congress, Dan will work to codify Roe v. Wade and abortion and reproductive rights across the country, helping the one in eight parents with fertility issues. Learn more
Dan will continue to fight to put more money into Virginians’ pockets while increasing the number of good job opportunities across the district and state and promoting economic stability. With our country facing profound challenges from climate change, a volatile international environment, fast moving technologies, and fewer ladders of opportunity to the middle class, industry partnership on tackling these goals and creating markets to do it remains essential. For example, Dan recognizes that we must invest in building policy frameworks that allow new, innovative technologies like digital assets and blockchain to continue to challenge the status quo and improve the financial and digital lives of Americans, while ensuring necessary protections are in place for consumers. If Congress doesn’t act on priorities such as this, Americans will see good jobs leave and head overseas. Learn more
In Congress, Dan will support policies that invest the resources required to save the planet while also building an economy that provides opportunities to working families and union households to strengthen economic stability. This includes investment in plant-based proteins that can help combat global hunger, mitigate the negative impacts of meat production, and ensure US leadership in food production. Dan will continue to push legislation like President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to tremendously expand the investment the federal government makes in addressing climate change.

Dan supports a two state solution that realizes the aspirations of two peoples who seek to live in peace side by side and hopes that, out of this horrible tragedy, that Israelis and Palestinians can forge such peace. Any such peace must ensure the return of the hostages and Hamas’ removal from the governing structure of the Palestinian movement as well as the rebuilding of Gaza. Such a peace would include continued US support for Israel, as Dan believes the US special relationship with Israel is special and critical to our own national security. Learn more
As a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, Dan believes that the burdens of war should be born by combatants and not civilians. He supports the immediate passage of HR 815 – The National Security Act, 2024 to provide significant aid to Gaza and the West Bank as well as Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. In Congress Dan will fight for a strong United States that stands for human rights and liberal democracy both at home and abroad. Learn more
Dan believes that Congress must take an active role in our national security and that we avoid wars of choice like those that killed his friends in Iraq. He believes that we need to be the beacon of freedom, democracy, and opportunity that drew his family here after the Holocaust. That means domestically fighting for our democracy and economic opportunity and overseas that we lead with our values and stand with those who share them. America has a critical role in managing peacefully the rise of China, building a close partnership with the world’s largest democracy in India, defeating Russian aggression through support to Ukraine, stabilizing and securing peace in the Middle East, containing Iran, sustaining the international financial system including the centrality of the dollar through innovative technologies like stablecoins, and supporting democratization, economic development, and global health initiatives in the global South and around the world. America has a responsibility to uphold our commitment to diplomacy and democracy, which Dan believes will protect our national and international security interests. Learn more
In Congress, Dan will fight for a national assault weapons and high capacity magazine ban, as well continue to push for other common sense gun control legislation. Learn more
In Congress, Dan will continue to work to increase access to affordable healthcare, lower the cost of prescription medication, and ensure that all Virginians and Americans around the country have the power to access the quality care they need and deserve. Too many people face crippling medical debt; that’s why Dan will keep fighting to reduce hospital costs and force hospitals to disclose the costs of care, empowering families to find necessary care without unknown, inflated hospital bills. Dan will also champion legislation to protect reproductive healthcare, because he believes that women have the right to make their own healthcare decisions—not the lawmakers in Washington. Learn more
