Yesli Vega rode into her campaign, standing atop a motorcoach, waiving at a crowd of more than 400 people gathered near Dumfries to see her.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) stood next to the 7th-District Congressional candidate as the bus pulled into Montclair Tabernacle Church, at 16120 Dumfries Road. It was Vega’s second rally with high-profile politicians in Prince William County in the past three days.
Some Abigail Spanberger campaign signs were found defaced this morning in Woodbridge.
The Prince William County GOP condemned the action, calling it “wrong” and “illegal.” Spanberger is the Democrat incumbent in Virginia’s 7th congressional district and is challenged by Republican Yesli Vega.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin will join Yesli Vega for a campaign rally.
The campaign told Potomac Local News via email today the rally will occur at 7 p.m. Monday, October 24, at Montclair Tabernacle Church, at 16120 Dumfries Road near Dumfries.
Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard made the trip from Hawaii to Quantico Marine Corps Base to campaign for Republican Yesli Vega.
Gabbard joined Vega on the stump at her campaign headquarters, at the Quantico Gateway office complex just outside the base Saturday, October 22, 2022. Gabbard outlined why she left the Democratic Party earlier this month and urged voters to round up their friends and head to the polls to cast their ballot for Vega.
A year ago, Republicans swept Democrats from statewide offices in Richmond, from the governor’s mansion to the attorney general’s office.

(THE CENTER SQUARE) – Candidates for Virginia’s 7th District will debate October 21, a matchup of Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger and Republican challenger Yesli Vega.
Republican congressional candidates are focused on Prince William and Stafford counties.
Yesli Vega (R), a Board of County Supervisors member seeking to flip Virginia’s 7th Congressional seat, will hold a get-out-the-vote rally tomorrow, Saturday, September 24, at her campaign headquarters outside Quantico.
The outlook for Abigail Spanberger (D) is looking better in her race to keep Virginia’s 7th Congressional seat. The Cook Political Report today moved Spanberger’s race against Republican Yesli Vega, a Prince William Board of County Supervisor member, from “toss-up to “lean Democratic.”
The move comes on the heels of Democrats’ successes in recent weeks, passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which addresses climate change, hiring 87,000 more IRS agents to audit citizens and small businesses, transferring some student loan debt to U.S. taxpayers and away from the borrower, and raiding the home of a former U.S. President Donald Trump to secure classified documents.
