Nembhard seeks to replace Jennifer Wexton in CD10

By Uriah Kiser

Travis Nembhard: “I’m running for the U.S. Congress in my home district of VA-10. I look forward to continuing to serve the community that has given me so much, and where I’ve been raising my two children with my wife Stephanie.”

“I have spent my career standing up for people who are too often forgotten. My lifetime of public service is focused on combating injustices and fighting for those who need someone to fight for them the most. While working in the Obama White House, I witnessed the power of government to be a force for good. As an assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Bureau, I went after slumlords, corrupt employers that violated wage laws, and companies that discriminated against individuals. And, as a financial regulator, I investigated instances of complex white-collar crime. I have a consistent record of working to protect the public against bad actors, and I intend to do the same in Congress, on behalf of the 10th Congressional District.”

Maldonado

“Maldonado is a second-term Democrat who recently won reelection to the House of Delegates 20th District. In an interview Tuesday with InsideNoVa, Maldonado positioned herself as a unifier who can bridge seemingly irreconcilable divides at a time when Congress is defined by fractures. She cited her work in Flint, Michigan, a community suffering a perpetual clean water crisis, her time working with the Minneapolis community following murder of George Floyd and her efforts to support congressional staffers following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the capitol.”
