I just gave the maximum allowed donation to Jennifer Lewis, a democrat running for my father's congressional seat. I've also gotten 5 other folks to commit to donate the max. 2018 is the year to flip districts let's do this!
Courageous move by Bobby!

UPDATE: As pointed out in post #7, Bob Goodlatte is retiring at the end of his term and Jennifer's opponent is Ben Cline. h/t and thanks to OKNancy

Im deeply embarrassed that Peter Strzoks career was ruined by my fathers political grandstanding. That committee hearing was a low point for Congress. Thank you for your service sir. You are a patriot
Holidays will be a blast at the Goodlatte household.
