Midlothian, Virginia – Republican Tina Ramirez (VA-07) announced a campaign finance committee filled with an all-star cast of business, grassroots and conservative leaders from the Commonwealth and across the nation. The nearly 50-member committee will help guide Ramirez to victory against Spanberger come November.

I’m the only candidate who can do that.”
