Juli Briskman, the cyclist who made headlines last fall for flipping off President Donald Trump’s motorcade, is making her first foray into politics with a bid for local office in Northern Virginia.
Briskman, a marketing executive, announced Wednesday that she’s filing paperwork to run in 2019 as a Democrat for Algonkian District supervisor in Loudoun County, where she famously raised her middle finger to the presidential motorcade in October as it departed Trump National Golf Club.
Briskman is hoping to unseat Suzanne M. Volpe, a Republican currently representing the Algonkian District, as part of an effort to turn the Loudon County Board of Supervisors blue. The board currently has a 6-3 Republican majority.
The running enthusiast and avid community volunteer said she hadn’t considered a bid for public office until her viral moment in October ― and her subsequent firing from her job at Akima, a government contracting firm, as a result of it.
Briskman sued Akima in April and won her severance claim. Her wrongful termination claim lawsuit was dismissed.
