Trump policies dominate Virginia 11th District congressional race

Verfax, Virginia – He is not in voting, but President Donald Trump is slapping in the middle of the Special congress elections on Tuesday in the outskirts of the northern Virginia in Washington, DC,

The federal positions carried out by the Ministry of Governmental efficiency in Trump, crime and migration, transgender policies, and even the batch to issue the files of the Ministry of Justice in the late subsidized heights Jeffrey Ibstein in the spotlight, where voters threw votes in Ferfax Province.

James Wookingo, the candidate for the Democratic Party, told Fox News Digital that the comprehensive and controversial agenda that Trump prompted during the first eight months in the White House will have a “real influence” in the special elections in the eleventh Congress in Virginia.

Republican candidate Stewart Whitson says Trump is in the spotlight in the lighting campaign because of “many of the great policies he was defending.”

The winner will succeed the late Democratic Representative Jerry Konoli, who died in June after a battle with cancer.

Republicans are currently controlling the House of Representatives 219-212, with three seats controlled by vacant Democrats, as well as the seats kept by the Republican Party. And if Walkinshaw tops Whitson in a Republican in the province, it has not won nearly two decades, this will narrow the scope of the fragile republican party.

In an area of ​​tens of thousands of federal workers and contractors, many voters were affected by the DOGE jobs that were implemented.

“People in northern Virginia and Ferfax feel the influence of Trump’s policies. I would like to say that we are somewhat on the front edge of Trump’s economy here. Everyone in Verfax knows someone, perhaps someone on his street, and perhaps the father of the football team in their child, who lost their job because of Doug or Trump’s policies.”

Walkinshaw, a member of the Fairfax Supervisors Council who previously worked as the Chief of Staff Connect, argued, “If Trump’s policies continue, the customs tariff, what is called a large and beautiful draft law, will be the case throughout the country. So I think we are rightly. I believe that the voters will make a statement about it.”

Wittson, an old army warrior and a former special agent at the FBI who supervises federal affairs in a governor research tank, told Fox News Digital that “” people in our region who lost their job or who are concerned about losing their job, do not need sympathy. They need solutions. “

He said that Walkinshaw “claims that he will fight President Trump and fight the administration. And players for voters in our area: Will this help? Will this help improve the situation? The answer is no.”

“We need someone to represent people in our region who can work with any administration, whether Republican or democratic.”

He said that the reference to federal workers and contractors who lost their jobs, “I want to find a way to restore them. I also want to find other economic opportunities for them as well.”

While Trump is not very common in the region-the president won only 31 % of voting in his re-election at the White House last year-Wittson said that Trump’s policies “focus on … sound instinct.”

He said that people in our region realize that the radical left has greatly prompted us from sound instinct … the radical policies that they pay on our children behind closed doors, and the reckless driver in crime policies that make us less safe. These are issues that are important to our eligibility. “

Whitson, referring to the ongoing battle around allowing sexually transformed children using public school bathrooms in some Verfax province schools, targetshaw targets.

“My opponent believes it is a civil right for men who know that they are girls or women to go to our girls’ cabinet rooms and watch them change. I think this is all backward, “he accused Witzon. “I think it is a civil right for girls and women when they see a female mark on a bath that they know can go there and be safe. Once again, this is due to the common sense. I am a father with five children. Three of these children are girls.”

Walkinshaw accused Whitson “was really obsessed with how 1 % of children in our bathrooms are used, and what I hear from people in our society, and what I focus on is how 100 % of our children can succeed in classrooms, so threats that focus on federal financing, dismantling the Ministry of Education, and threats to perform our children in the classroom, and that.

Whitson is also trying to connect Walkinshaw with Zahran Mamdani, the socialist candidate who shook the political world in June by winning the nomination of the mayor of the Democratic Party in New York City.

Witzon accused, “This is the person who has a history of supporting a lot of the same type of policy that Mamdani supports.

In response to a question about this comparison, Walkinshaw said during the four months of the Campaign’s path this summer, “Not a single voter asked me about the election of the mayor of New York. I don’t care about what is happening in the election of the New York mayor.

But what Walkinshaw says he heard about him on the campaign’s path is to pay by both Democrats and Republicans to the Ministry of Justice to issue files related to the federal investigation into Epsin, who died in prison six years ago while awaiting federal accusations of sex trafficking.

“One of these things that I hear from Democrats, independents, many Republicans and conservatives who believed Donald Trump when he said that there was a cover -up on the files during the Biden administration. They took him in his speech, and now they are wondering whether he was lying. Yes, it came, and comes through the political spectrum.”

And if he wins on Tuesday’s elections, Walkinshaw said that he will immediately sign a petition to empty the Democratic Representative Ro Khanna from California and Republican Representative Thomas Massi from Kentucky. The petition, which is currently a few shy voices of success, calls for the House of Representatives to vote to urge the Ministry of Justice to issue files.

“I will definitely sign it,” he said. “I think the American people deserve to know it. I want to know what the Trump administration is, if any, you can narrate it. And at the present time, the discharge petition is the car to do so.”

Wittson argued that “my opponent is really late in the game in this matter”, and that “months ago I called for a full disclosure of all records of Epstein files.”

Wittson pointed to his years as a federal law enforcement official in setting confidentiality in the documents, accusing that Walkinshaw was using the case as a political weapon.

“How long have this issue were continuing, and now he finally wants to reach these records. What does that mean? This means that he does not care about these victims at all. It uses the pain and suffering that suffers from trying to achieve political gains,” he said.
