But we as Americans can’t let partisan courts throw away the democratic will of the people. I’m Jason Knapp, and I’m running for Congress in VA-01 to restore the balance of power back to us.13 May 2026 00:58 +0000at://did:plc:2rtmcnhexlrumv7s6fw7topb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlp3xfvo7o2thttps://bsky.app/profile/knappforcongress.bsky.social/post/3mlln3r47ae2tWhen elected, I will push my party to be as fast as the Trump administration in getting stuff done to restore the trust of the American people. Term limits, banning congressional stock trading, and redefining the role of money in politics. This is what needs to change, now. #dems #politics #trump11 May 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:2rtmcnhexlrumv7s6fw7topb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlln3r47ae2thttps://bsky.app/profile/knappforcongress.bsky.social/post/3mljtg5m5cs2xOur kids won’t remember the campaign.
