NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION 2024 Reasons for Change in Virginia - US Senate

Alexandria, VA - The incumbent:

I. Weak on Defense

In a state with thousands of military and federal employees, he has never acted on the US' Lack of an In-coming Missile Alert Protocol.

Search my social media accounts.

II. Civil Rights Attorney

The Senator/Counselor has taken no action on:

• Legislation Protecting Whistleblower

Congressional Whistleblower Protection Act of 2024

• Legislation to Protect Consumers from Price Gouging

S.3803 - Price Gouging Prevention Act of 2024

III. US DHS FEMA Toxic and Hostile Workplace

So much for being pro labor and union ...

IV. Alexandria City High School Safety and Security

Deadly silent on safety and security issues at ACPS King Street High School.

I have asked repeatedly for his assistance. No reply.

He was Governor when VA Tech shooting occurred - 32 dead.

V. Aristides the Sousa Mendes - Holocaust

As my US Senator, I ask for his financial support for a project on a former Portuguese Diplomat that saved countless refugees fleeing the Nazis during WWII.

Portuguese - American bilateral relations predate the American Revolution and were among the strongest between Thomas Jefferson and José Correia da Serra.

Never heard from him nor his staff on this request from his constituents:

As a fellow Hoya, and as a Portuguese-American, I can not, in good conscience, vote for a lawmaker that ignores me, my constituents and the interest of fellow citizens in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia.

Time for a drastic change.
