My Commitment to You

Bodyshot Image
Paul’s commitment to the people of Virginia’s 5th Congressional District is rooted in a life of service, integrity, and results. As a proud U.S. Army officer and Bronze Star recipient, Paul answered the call to serve our country—and now, he’s answering the call to serve again in Congress. He’s running to bring principled leadership and accountability to Washington, guided by a simple mission: put people before politics, protect the earned benefits of veterans and working families, and ensure the voices of everyday Virginians are heard over the noise of special interests. This campaign isn’t about partisan talking points—it’s about delivering real, meaningful solutions for the neighbors, farmers, workers, and families who call the 5th District home. Paul is focused on what matters most to the people he serves—economic opportunity, access to healthcare, support for rural communities, and protecting the foundations of democracy. He’ll fight for the backbone of the district’s economy, from agriculture and small businesses to local schools and rural hospitals. Whether it’s advocating for affordable healthcare, expanding high-speed broadband, lowering prescription drug costs, or making it easier for families to get ahead, Paul believes that government should work for Main Street—not Wall Street. He brings a results-driven approach to solving problems and a deep respect for the hard work and resilience of the people of Central and Southern Virginia. Above all, Paul believes public service is about listening and showing up. That’s why he’s out in communities across the 5th District—meeting with veterans, educators, healthcare providers, farmers, and business owners to understand their challenges and hopes firsthand. As your Congressman, Paul will be your advocate in Washington—accessible, accountable, and focused on getting things done. He’ll never forget who he works for and will always stand up for the people of Virginia’s 5th District with honor, courage, and common sense.
