"Beth Macy accepts joint appearance invitation Oct. 14 in Clifton Forge

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sept. 25, 2026

Contact: Ralph@bethmacyforcongress.com

CLIFTON FORGE — Beth Macy, Democratic candidate for Congress in Virginia's 6th District, has accepted an invitation to attend a Community Conversation with her incumbent opponent Oct. 14 at Clifton Forge's Historic Masonic Theatre. The invitation was extended "with the support of Mountain Gateway Community College and the Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce," organizer Joan Vannorsdall wrote in a Sept. 18 letter to Macy.

The event "is open to the public with prescreened questions asked by our moderator, providing residents of the Sixth Congressional District with an opportunity to meet both candidates for the district seat, and hear and understand their stances on the vital issues at hand," Vannorsdall wrote. Dr. John Rainone, president of Mountain Gateway Community College, has agreed to moderate. The event is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Main Auditorium.

"I greatly look forward to the opportunity to meet with the Clifton Forge community once again and hear what is on their minds as November 3 approaches," Macy said. "This is the most important election of our generation, and 6th District constituents deserve a chance to talk directly with all of the candidates.""

I enjoyed speaking with reporter Alix Breeden of Daily Kos about bringing a journalist's ability to listen to real people to Washington. "I’ve always approached my journalism [the same way], which is to tell the stories of the marginalized people, the outsiders, the underdogs."

More than just about any other Republican in Congress, Cline is all Trump. He won't even work behind the scenes to undo Trump's damage. Vote for Beth Macy in VA-06.

Trump has made 28,700 securities trades since returning to office, which is more than all of Congress combined. Note that he is pushing for a stock-trading ban for lawmakers (a ban that wouldn’t affect him, naturally).

In some of the rural counties of the 6th district, more than 60% of the total land is National Forest land, which drives our economy and provides recreation and tourism opportunities that are key to our way of life. A recent executive order by the president threatens that way of life.

End Citizens United Endorses @bethmacy.bsky.social in Virginia’s 6th Congressional District bluevirginia.us/2026/09/maga...

"End Citizens United Endorses Beth Macy in Virginia’s 6th Congressional District

End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed Beth Macy in Virginia’s 6th Congressional District. As part of ECU’s Unrig Washington program, Macy rejects corporate PAC money, supports a ban on congressional stock trading, and commits to helping get dark money out of elections.

"Washington corruption has a real cost, and Virginians are paying for it,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Congressman Cline has spent his time in Washington protecting billionaires and special interests while working families get squeezed and data centers take over their communities. Beth Macy is running to change that. She'll take on corporate greed, fight to lower costs, and stand up for Virginians who are tired of being ignored. We’re proud to be supporting Beth and look forward to helping her win in November.”

“Costs keep going up, and Congress has done nothing about it,” said Beth Macy. “Lowering the cost of living means cracking down on the corporations that are hiking prices on working people. I refuse to take corporate PAC money because I want Virginians to know that I will never be in the pocket of big special interests, and I will only answer to the people in this district. I’m proud to have the endorsement of End Citizens United and look forward to working with them to root out the corrosive influence of corporations and billionaires.”

Beth Macy worked as a reporter for 25 years, telling important stories across communities and holding power to account. She has published multiple books that detail the human impacts of corporate greed. Macy is part of Unrig Washington, joining more than 285 Democratic candidates committed to rejecting corporate PAC money, supporting a ban on congressional stock trading, and cracking down on dark money in politics.

I couldn’t see Cline when I was up there speaking in my borrowed suit, but it said everything when he bounced off the stage afterwards, refusing to shake my hand. To fix real problems, first you have to talk to the people suffering from them. He has never done that, not once.
