Chesterfield, VA – Tina Ramirez has raised over $100k in less than a week after announcing her candidacy for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District. This tremendous fundraising effort and widespread grassroots support solidifies Tina as the front-runner for the Republican nomination in the 7th District and demonstrates that she is far and away the best candidate to take on Abigail Spanberger in November 2022.
“I am humbled by the outpouring of support from throughout Virginia’s 7th district. People are ready for a change and the progressive, liberal policies we’ve seen from Abigail Spanberger are not reflective of the district’s values and priorities. And this wave of grassroots support, which has already led to over $100k raised, sends a message that the people of the 7th District understand that I am the most qualified and most funded to beat Spanberger next fall.”
