Friends,

My name is Stew Whitson, and I am the Republican nominee running for U.S. Congress to serve Virginia’s 11th Congressional District. I’m an Army combat veteran, former FBI Special Agent, conservative policy expert, and a family man fighting to restore common sense in Northern Virginia.

Right now, Republicans hold the slimmest majority in the House of Representatives that we’ve had in the last century. Taking back this seat would have huge implications, not only for the people in our District, but for all Americans across the country. And here’s the good news: With Connelly’s unfortunate sudden death, and the dynamics of a special election, this is a race Republicans can win. This is our once-in-a-generation opportunity to take back this seat. But we can only win this race, TOGETHER. With your support and the support of others across the district and country, WE WILL WIN.

I want to take a moment to say “thank you” to all of you for everything you are doing to help us win. Again, the only way we can win this race is together… and we are definitely TOGETHER on this one. From folks joining us on Super Saturdays to door knock, to our army of volunteers putting up yard signs and working the farmer’s markets, to a crowd of our supporters joining us for the candidate forum in Reston, everyone is working so hard to help us win, and we are so grateful.

Many people have reached out to ask how they can help. At this moment in time, there are three BIG ways you can help.

To learn more about our campaign and my plan to fix our economy, protect our families, and restore common sense to Northern Virginia, please visit our website: WhitsonForCongress.com

I look forward to seeing you soon, if not at one our events, then at some point on the campaign trail. Please reach out any time if you need anything from me.

Early Voting has started, so please stop by either location below and cast your ballot for ME!

September 9th is fast approaching. Let’s continue to work together to take back this seat!

On July 19, the 11 Northern Virginia Republican Women’s Clubs came together for a vibrant FUN RAISER at DC Prime Steakhouse in Ashburn in support of Lt. Governor candidate John Reid. With over 100 attendees and donations exceeding the goal, the evening was a resounding success.

Guests enjoyed fine wine courtesy of The Wine Outlet (Vienna, VA), elegant décor by Kathy Buckley of Occasions by Design, and an outstanding dinner by DC Prime. The event was a powerful display of unity, purpose, and grassroots energy as we rally behind a strong statewide ticket for 2025.

Come help Tony Sabio kick off his 2026 campaign for Congress from VA-8 on Saturday, August 9, from 5:00-7:00pm at Lyon Hall, 2116 19th St. N., Arlington 22201. The special guest will be Jacob Olidort of the America First Policy Institute. RSVP online here. See the flyer pictured for more details.

Since 2009, the Fort Belvoir Garrison, Franconia-Springfield area residents, businesses and elected officials have walked across the Veterans Bridge from Springfield Plaza to American Legion Post 176 to commemorate the renewal of the United States Army’s Community Covenant. The short walk ends with a community celebration featuring refreshments and entertainment. You are invited to join them!
