ADAM DUNIGAN SUBMITS SIGNATURES TO RUN FOR VIRGINIA’S 7TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Former Marine and CIA Case Officer Submits Petition Signatures to Compete in Newly Redrawn VA-07 that Spans from Northern Virginia to the Western Virginia line and south to areas west of Richmond
ARLINGTON, VA — Adam Dunigan, former Marine and ex-CIA case officer, officially submitted +1300 qualifying petition signatures to the Virginia State Board of Elections, securing his place on the ballot for Virginia's newly redrawn 7th Congressional District.
The submission marks a significant milestone for Dunigan's grassroots campaign, and comes as Virginians prepare for their first election under new district lines following the Commonwealth's recent redistricting process.
“Every signature I collected is from a person who is fed up with a political establishment promising to fix the very same problems they created in the first place,” said Dunigan.
He clarified this further by saying,“For any durable change to happen, we need candidates who understand what’s actually at stake and have made real commitments to their voters – not party committees, corporate PACs, or special interests. I’ll be accountable only to the people who elected me.”
Dunigan is running on his Accountability Agenda, which centers on three priorities, each essential to addressing the national crisis facing: holding the corrupt practices of the current administration accountable, advancing future-focused solutions to today’s affordability crisis, such as investing in affordable housing and accessible healthcare, and defending our democracy from those seeking to undermine it.
A strong proponent of AI regulation, Dunigan’s Accountability Agenda also recognizes the financial and environmental strain that Virginia’s “Data Center Alley” continues to place on working families and struggling communities throughout the 7th District.
“Without an independent regulatory commission to oversee AI and data center development, we’ll never be able to build a future economy that works for every Virginian,” said Dunigan.
Since launching, his campaign has raised $144,676 from individual donors without accepting a single dollar from corporate PACs or party committees.
A former Marine officer and CIA case officer, Dunigan left his career at the agency to run for Congress after watching Washington fail the communities of Northern Virginia — a region hit harder than almost anywhere else in the country by the Trump administration's attacks on the federal workforce.
