About the Race
Virginia's 7th District is one of the most competitive open-seat congressional races in the country. Joe Schiarizzi is an inventor, small business owner, and affordable housing activist who's running because working families are being priced out of their communities while politicians stay beholden to corporate donors. As your representative, he'll fight to declare a national housing emergency, address the climate crisis, and hold the Trump regime accountable.
