Yevgeny Vindman to Run for Congress in Virginia's 7th District

Retired Army colonel and whistleblower in Trump's impeachment case seeks to succeed Rep. Abigail Spanberger.

Yevgeny 'Eugene' Vindman, a retired Army colonel known for raising alarms about President Donald Trump's actions toward Ukraine, plans to run for Congress in Virginia's 7th District.
The 7th District seat is currently held by Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D), who has decided not to seek another term in order to run for governor.
Vindman, who immigrated to the United States from Soviet Ukraine as a child, has a career that spans from fighting in Iraq to serving in the White House as a national security adviser.
The 7th District is expected to be a competitive seat, with Republicans eyeing it as a potential pickup opportunity.
Vindman's campaign is likely to focus on his experiences and the rule-of-law approach he wants to bring to representing the district.
