Now, Shannon is running for Congress to take on a different kind of threat: the culture of corruption in Washington that is driving up costs for Virginia families. That is why Shannon has released her Serve the People First Agenda, committing to fight for a ban on members of Congress trading stocks while they are in office, placing a lifetime ban on members of Congress becoming lobbyists, mandating jail time for members of Congress who steal taxpayer funds, and 12-year term limits for members of the House and Senate. Shannon has pledged to never take a dime of corporate PAC money in this campaign or while representing us in Congress, so there is no doubt who she fights for.

Shannon will fight to restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits that Congressman Wittman allowed to expire, causing premiums to rise by hundreds of dollars a month. She will fight to restore funding to our hospitals like Rappahannock General, and she will work to expand Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies so no one has to choose between their medication and basic needs. Shannon will fight to make medical billing transparent by ending surprise billing, and fight to protect Social Security and Medicare for seniors who have paid into them their entire adult life.

Now Shannon is running for Congress in Virginia’s 1st District to take on the corruption from both parties that’s jacking up our costs and hurting families. Congressman Wittman has spent nearly 20 years enriching himself at our expense, taking advantage of a corrupt system in Washington that serves politicians and special interests while raising costs on our families. Shannon will fight to lower costs, clean up Washington’s culture of corruption, and make Congress serve the people first.

As a prosecutor, Shannon knows that strong communities are built on strong, independent families. She is committed to practical policies that bring down the high costs of childcare, healthcare, and senior care — and expand access to paid leave, so no one has to choose between a paycheck and caring for someone they love.

Shannon has consistently opposed proposed utility price hikes here in Virginia. She has also called for legislation to mandate that any new data center construction does not result in increased energy costs for our families. In Congress, Shannon will continue to stand up to big corporations and special interests who try to profit by increasing costs for our community.

Shannon will fight to cut taxes for working families and small businesses – not for billionaires and corporate special interests. While Rob Wittman gave himself a tax break last year, Shannon will put Virginians first. She will work to rein in the reckless tariffs and endless wars that are driving up the price of groceries, gas, and everyday goods. And Shannon will invest in energy, infrastructure, and good-paying jobs that strengthen Virginia’s economy.

In Congress, Shannon will work to pass legislation that takes drugs like fentanyl off our streets and supports our law enforcement here in Virginia and nationwide.

When politicians like Rob Wittman trade stocks using information no other American has access to, they profit while everyday Virginians pay the price. Shannon will fight to ban congressional stock trading and ban members of Congress from cashing in on their influence by becoming lobbyists for the industries they were supposed to regulate. She will propose legislation to mandate jail time for politicians who steal taxpayer funds; she will propose term limits of 12 years for members of the House and Senate, and she pledges to follow that limit herself whether it passes or not. Shannon will reject all corporate PAC money so there is no doubt who she is fighting for.
