Derrick Anderson Fails to Defend Virginia’s Federal Workforce As Trump Calls Them “Crooked”

This week, Donald Trump lambasted federal employees and civil servants as “crooked… dishonest people” and said that if he is elected, “they’re going to be held accountable” – echoing Project 2025 legislation which promises to gut checks and balances and endangers hundreds of thousands of federal jobs.

Virginia is home to more than 140,000 federal employees – including nearly 60,000 in the 7th congressional district alone. Yet Derrick Anderson has refused to stand up for federal workers and families as Trump continues to threaten their livelihoods.

Anderson’s continued support of Donald Trump and his Project 2025 blueprint is completely out-of-touch with Virginians.

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“In embracing Donald Trump, Derrick Anderson is putting MAGA extremism before the needs of Virginia’s federal workers and families. Virginians don’t support Project 2025, or self-serving representatives like Anderson who are ready to rubber-stamp it.”
