Jason Knapp For Congress VA-01

Here's where I stand. For far too long, elected leaders have been eager to court data centers at the expense of their constituents. (Threaded below) #cleanenergy #rural #VA #datacenter #virginiapolitics

Americans all over the country are feeling the weight of big money in our politics. Here in VA-01, I refuse to accept corporate PAC money from businesses that profit on the backs of Virginians, unlike the establishment-backed candidate. #CitizensUnited #NoPacMoney #grassroots #democrat #RVA

It’s been an odd, frustrating, yet motivating time running for Congress in Virginia this Midterm cycle. But we as Americans can’t let partisan courts throw away the democratic will of the people. I’m Jason Knapp, and I’m running for Congress in VA-01 to restore the balance of power back to us.

We've been making our way through our newly drawn 8th District, this time stopping to speak in front of the amazing Arlington Dem Committee. #Virginia #grassroots #dems #midterms

As we approach the midterms—and thinking further about how we view elections in the country—ask yourself: what is “America First” about making it harder for Americans to vote? There are much clearer ways to protect our democracy. The SAVE Act is the wrong-answer to a manufactured problem. #Vote

It was a privilege to attend the Rural Va Dems Caucus at Wintergreen this weekend. I met so many incredibly dedicated folks who have been working tirelessly on behalf of our neighbors and communities in rural Virginia. #campaign #congress #grassroots #progressivepolitics #virginia

I'm running to change our future and our children's future of how we look at politics. We need term limits, we need to ban congressional stock trading, and a slew of other policies that hold our politicians to account as the public servants they are. #democrats #congress

Trump was asked if Americans should anticipate spending more ⁠on gasoline for the foreseeable future. "For a ​little while," Trump answered. When's the last time you think he’s touched a gas pump? Or worried about a car loan or auto insurance payment? Is this “representation” or what you voted for?

The saying “Vote Blue No Matter Who” is catchy, but those who lead the chants often leave out a key piece of our elections in the larger conversation—primaries. In a time where our reps are not acting on our voices, I am running to serve all of Virginia's 8th District. #DC #Congress #Midterms

As we approach midterms, it's time to ask uncomfortable questions as Democrats. The working class has rightfully stopped recognizing itself in our party, and instead of listening, we keep running the same playbook with the same people. We can't keep conflating loyalty with silence. #DC #Congress

Running in Virginia this cycle has been anything but normal. Despite that, and no matter where I end up—the mission and reason why I am running stays the same—that our democracy needs new voices who are ready to meet the moment in real life actions and not just another press statement.

Thank you again Madeleine Bordallo for the encouragement and faith in me and my work to endorse me in my run for Congress.

I appreciate Madeline Bordallos kind words and endorsement in my run for congress. Together, we can win this race.

Trump started a war with your money, then blockaded his own blockade. I've sat on the catapult in an F-18 on 5-minute alert in that strait. Let's talk about what's actually happening.

⚠️ CAUTION: I would not blame you if this has kept you up at night. On April 7th, the President of the United States posted: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

First they said Iran’s nuclear program was gone. Then they said their air defenses were wiped out. Now we have pilots ejecting and an aviator unaccounted for. Rob Wittman has never met a war he didn’t support — easy to do when you’ve never served. That’s why I’m running for Congress.

Pete Hegseth firing the Army Chief of Staff is like a failed drunk major, with a history of misogyny and race baiting firing a man who spent 35 years mastering war. One of them knows exactly what they're doing. The other is Pete Hegseth. @andrewsolender.bsky.social @thebulwark.com @atrupar.com

Remembering Robert Mueller's Service

In Minneapolis, I was able to talk to @kathygriffin.bsky.social and @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social / Veterans Fighting Fascism to continue our civic duty in defending democracy.

Last week, I was able to join fellow angry Americans to protest ICEs illegal-door-to-door operations #AbolishICE #ICEOut #DropkickMurphys

I’ve been in that combat aircraft cockpit. I’ve lost people I love to war and its after-effects. This President just "doesn't get it" — and it shows. #CombatVeteran #Iran #Trump #usa

The VA has never and will never be a charity. It’s a promise to protect our veterans and give back to them for their service…a service that Donald Trump and Rob Wittman will never understand.
