SPEAKING ~ DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS (Running in the 2026 Midterm against ROBB WITTMAN)
Watch VIDEO FROM MARK WARNER
Tim Cywinski is a community organizer and policy advocate who has spent more than a decade working inside and outside government to deliver real results for real people.
From helping secure more than $100 million in increased financial aid for Virginia students to supporting communities in stopping harmful polluting projects, Tim’s work has centered on those who live with the consequences of unfair political decisions.
He’s not running to learn how the system works — he’s running because he knows how to fix it.

APRIL MEETING RECAP
Eizabeth Dempsy Beggs
Watch the Meeting Video….
A mother, a firefighter’s wife, a veteran, and an advocate. But above all—someone who has never chosen the easy path.
People often ask why I chose to run for Congress now, at 29, with four children five and under. The truth is simple: how could I not?
Because our children deserve better—mine and yours.
Because our veterans deserve real support, not slogans.
Because families deserve leaders who understand sacrifice.
Because communities deserve someone who will fight for them even when it’s hard—especially when it’s hard.
I’m running for Congress because service never stops—and because doing the right thing is worth the fight every single time.
MARCH MEETING RECAP!
THANK YOU FOR WRITING POSTCARDS WITH US - FOR DEMOCRACY!
