A big thank you to everyone who joined me at our candidate pop-up at One More Page Books. Independent bookstores are essential to thriving communities. We had some great conversations about restoring accountability to government and creating future-focused solutions that actually lower costs.

Issues | Adam Dunigan For Congress
Greed broke this country. Our government sold us out, bit by bit, to oligarchs, billionaires, corporations, and political insiders. Congressional insider trading, PolyMarket bets on military…

'Any semblance of fiscal responsibility' was abandoned two decades ago, says budget watchdog, and challenges Congress to cut deficit levels by half | Fortune
A 3% benchmark would require approximately $10 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade, if the target is reached by 2036.

55% of Americans say their day-to-day finances are getting worse. Trump’s answer? Make taxpayers fund his $1B gold-plated ballroom after promising that his billionaire allies and corporate donors would pick up the tab.

🇺🇸 Tonight I am going live with Bree Fram at 6pm for a conversation about the state of our democracy and how we’re working to build a new Democratic movement in Virginia. I’m honored to be sharing this live stream with Bree, running in VA-11. Tune in tonight.

Trump and his billionaire CEO enablers never cared about the economy. Just the grift at the expense of working people, families, and struggling communities. www.npr.org/2026/05/02/n...

Federal debt exceeds $39 trillion for the 1st time. Why is this milestone significant?
The federal debt passed an uncomfortable milestone this year, outgrowing the entire U.S. economy. That poses risks, but policymakers show little sign of addressing it.

As a former Marine & CIA officer, I’ve spent my career serving this country. I’m running for Congress because VA-07 deserves a representative who'll fight for them. We need more fighters and less Corporate Democrats. Thank you to WHSV for having me.

Thank you to Caleb Peek from WHSV for chatting with me about my accountability agenda which is needed to fight for lower costs. We also spoke about the need to regulate AI, and how these issues start with protecting our democracy from those undermining it.

May Day has always been about workers standing up for their rights. I want to acknowledge how they were abused under DOGE who had no legal authority to dismantle government agencies the way they did. Something the courts backed up, but Trump and his Republican allies ignored.

There's no easy answers right now, except one. We need a new generation of leaders to fix what the previous generation of Corporate Democrats broke.

There’s a reason so many Americans have given up on politics. They’ve watched politicians get elected, take corporate money & enrich themselves at the expense of the voters. We have to rebuild trust. That starts with a simple commitment: no corporate PAC or special interest money.

Today, the redistricting referendum was put to the people of Virginia and the voters made their voices heard —democracy prevailed. 

My campaign will now shift into the newly drawn 7th District, I look forward to introducing myself and earning the trust of every voter.

Every vote counts and this one matters for the future of our Commonwealth and how we're representated in Washington. Polls are open until 7 PM. Democracy only works when we show up.

Dismantling ICE should not be a left or right issue. It's the minimum moral position we should take given their actions as an agency. And I refuse to stay silent while Virginians are under attack.

I had the privilege of standing alongside some of the most dedicated voters in Northern Virginia. We talked candidly about what's actually happening in our community. The cost of groceries. Rent that keeps climbing. The feeling that Washington isn't fighting for them.

I want to send a big congratulations to Sarah White from Westover Taco, who officially opened their doors last night in Arlington. Small business owners like Sarah are the backbone of our community and her dedication to supporting local women’s sports continues to inspire all of us.

It was great getting my miles in with the Ballston Run Club this morning! I got to meet some great runners with very real concerns which our campaign is going to tackle in Congress. I also made one important new friend along the way.

🗞️ As a first time candidate, we just released our Q1 fundraising numbers. With your support we raised $144,676 — not from corporate PACs, party committees, or special interests. But from people just like you, who know we need a generational change in Congress that's ready to fight.

Hold. Her. Accountable. No one deserved to be fired more than former Attorney General Pam Bondi. She weaponized the Dept. of Justice against Trump's political opponents, fellow citizens, and undermined the rule-of-law. www.axios.com/2026/04/08/p...

The Iran conflict didn’t happen in a vacuum. It was the result of Trump’s imperial ambitions and authoritarian project, which disrupted the entire global economy. Now we’re forced to live with the consequences.

Today, Trump became the first sitting president in U.S. history to attend Supreme Court oral arguments — for a case about his own executive order to end birthright citizenship. That's a pressure campaign on the judiciary that undermines the separation of powers.

If you work full-time in Virginia, you should be able to afford to live here. Period. It’s time to raise the minimum wage and back legislation that puts working families first.

Real change starts with each of us. When neighbors and community show up for one another, we can break the status quo and build a future that's resilient, durable, and creates true opportunity.

There should be no lifetime memberships in Congress while Americans demand change. That's not service. That's entrenchment. Real change happens when new voices, new energy, and new accountability replace the old guard. We need those new voices in Congress now.

AI is being pushed into every corner of our lives — faster than we can understand the consequences. A handful of billionaires and corporations are reshaping how we work, what we see, and how we think. And they're doing it without accountability, and without asking you.

I had a great conversation with Dylan Welch from the Intelligence Report Podcast. We talked about what drove me to leave the CIA and run for Congress, the accountability message that is core to my campaign and what I believe the next generation of leadership should look like.

We're $25,000 short of our goal and I need your help to close the gap today. A lot of you found this page through my Iran War briefings. Let me firstly say, thank you for paying attention. That matters. But I also need your help.
