Committee members volunteered this afternoon at the #blueridgeareafoodbank, helping wash and organize donations for our neighbors in need.

Where is Ben Cline? I'm not sure. But I can tell you where a few hundred of his constituents were this morning, and the only thing they seemed excited about was declining Ben in the next election.

When asked by Steven Bannon "Where are [6th District constituents'] heads at" after Trump's early days in office, Ben Cline responded, "They could not be more excited about this administration." Maybe if Ben spent any time with constituents, he'd know how wrong he is. Let's show him tomorrow!

This Saturday, join us at the Augusta County Courthouse to tell Ben Cline that we don't approve of his ideas for the Shenandoah Valley!

Great picture @peacedance22.bsky.social We're pretty proud too!

I had just made it to the Hands Off! rally to protest the Trump/Musk administration being held in Staunton on Saturday when a young man in a jacked-up pick-up truck stopped in front of the rally crowd, then started menacingly revving the truck’s engine. augustafreepress.com/news/staunto...

Ken Mitchell, potential candidate against no spine Ben Cline, supporting democracy at Hands OFF Staunton.

WOW! We are still recovering from such a wonderful Hands-Off rally yesterday. We were so excited to see so many friends and neighbors standing up to Trump and Musk! #handsoff #democracyinaction
