Former Delegate Jeff Frederick and candidate for the Virginia Senate raised $112,954.06* from 216* donations for the June 30th filing period, with a cash-on-hand of $90,370.61.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the rush of support we’ve received from across Northern Virginia for our campaign to end politics as usual in Virginia,” said Frederick. “The sheer number of people who made a financial contribution was all the more impressive given our late entry into this race due to the redistricting. I’m humbled by the grassroots support and the gaining momentum of our campaign as we continue to take our message directly to the voters of the 36th District.”

“It seems that many churches turn a blind-eye to [people with disabilities] (not just the adults with disabilities, but children too). I think it stems from fear of the unknown: not knowing how to interact with people who are “different,” not wanting to offend them or their loved ones by using politically incorrect language,” said Spirit Life Church spokeswoman Sarah Meisenhelter. “We believe all people can learn about God and have a relationship with him and we just want to make that available for those who want it.”
