One of the races to watch in the November midterm elections will be Virginia’s 10th district, which, since being redrawn last December, gives Democrats a slight edge. This edge certainly makes the race competitive, though, especially with the right Republican candidate to go up against Rep. Jennifer Wexton, a Democrat who was first elected in the blue wave of 2018.
Mike Clancy , who describes himself as a technology company executive, lawyer, and community leader, thinks he’s that candidate in a crowded field of 11 Republicans. He recently spoke to Townhall about his campaign to become the Republican nominee on June 21 and unseat Wexton come the November 8 election. This includes emphasizing that he is not a career politician, which he says “is the last thing we need in Congress” and “part of the reason for some of the dysfunction in Congress” as a way to set himself apart. Clancy himself would serve for three or four terms if elected.
Not only is Clancy not a career politician, he is a lawyer and the only lawyer in the race. He offered that he brings his constitutional conservative and legal perspective to the race. This is particularly important today when it comes to the First Amendment and how, as he says, “we need to be aggressive against defending the cancel culture, the censorship, the whole equity, identity politics agenda that we’re seeing that’s infecting the schools, the college campuses, even the work places we’re seeing it.”
In addition to being a lawyer, Clancy studied cybersecurity policy and served on Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s Technology and Cybersecurity Transition Team. Clancy was recently endorsed by Virginia Del. Glenn Davis, a fellow Republican who also served on the transition team.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
