Michael Duffin
@duffin
I was RIF’d by the State Department for my role in countering white supremacy. Now I’m running to represent Virginia’s 8th Congressional District. www.duffin4va.com
I will protect and expand the Middle Class by ensuring our local communities have adequate funding for after-school and summer camp programs and increased tax credits for childcare and dependent care. #alexandria #arlington #fallschurch #northernvirginia #fairfax
Alexandria & Arlington residents: Early voting is available on Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm at Beatley Central Library, 5005 Duke Street, Alexandria; Walter Reed Community Center, 2909 16th Street N, Arlington; and Langston-Brown Community Center, 2121 N Culpeper Street, Arlington.
Help me send a message to Washington that federal workers can’t be taken for granted. Despite being the backbone of Northern Virginia’s economy, Feds’ voices are too often overlooked by our representatives. That has to change.
I found Mitch McConnell! “Weekend at McConnell’s” starring JD Vance and Mike Johnson.
Vote antes del 4 de agosto para Michael Christian Duffin. • Protejan a los inmigrantes. • Abolir ICE • Bajar los costos Soy padre de dos hijos y esposo de una inmigrante. #Alexandria #Arlington #FallsChurch #Fairfax #Virginia
Donald Trump and his DOJ are protecting a global network of pedophiles. Impeachment is necessary to bring the full truth to light. #Trump #Epstein #JusticeForVictims #ImpeachTrump
There will be early voting this Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm in Alexandria at Beatley Central Library on Duke Street and Arlington at Walter Reed Community Center and Langston-Brown Community Center. Vote for a fired Fed running to reinstate federal workers and bring accountability to Washington.
I am grateful for Rep Don Beyer and other members of Congress for attending AFGE’s “Missing Badge” event on the Hill for the 1,300+ State Department employees who were fired a year ago by DOGE. We need every representative from Virginia & Maryland focused on the reinstatement of federal workers.
Tell Matthew to Come Back and Vote for Michael Duffin! #ComeBackMatthew #MatthewGone #Politics #Virginia #funnyreels
I support abolishing ICE and replacing it with a new organization that enforces our laws fairly and humanely. #alexandria #arlington #fallschurch #Fairfax #ice video courtesy of Latina Voice Media
Corporate greed has destroyed local journalism and that’s made us less knowledgeable about our political system & tech companies are spreading polarizing & disinformation.
One year after the mass layoffs at the State Department, it’s obvious that those who were fired did essential work. From counterterrorism to energy policy, each of the 1,300+ people had an irreplaceable expertise. #DiplomacyMatters #FedsMatter
I spoke at the Arlington Democrats’ picnic/straw poll about the one-year anniversary of the mass layoffs at the State Department. I called out the fact that none of the Virginia delegation has said anything about the one-year anniversary on social media, including Rep Don Beyer.
One year ago, my career at the State Department prematurely ended because of the greed and corruption of Donald Trump and DOGE. From the moment I walked out of Foggy Bottom I have been fighting back for federal workers. I would be grateful for your vote for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District.
Have you voted yet? If you’re a registered voter in Virginia’s 8th District and have a question, put it in the comments section and I will answer it. #Alexandria #arlington#FallsChurch #Fairfax #Springfield
I will be at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Alexandria on Thursday night for the next round of candidate forums for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District. Stop by and say hello!
Here’s the context. I’ve been clear that I am in favor of abolishing ICE and would work with the unions to ensure people who have not broken any laws are reassigned.
We can’t expect sitting members of Congress to do the right thing and step aside for new voices. And that’s why our political system will remain broken.
I confronted one of the wealthiest members of Congress about his addiction to accepting corporate PAC money—his response was stunning.
Wow, @beyer.house.gov said the quiet part out loud: he won’t quit taking corporate PAC money! Perhaps our party can actually become responsive to working class people and not be in bed with corporations?
Rep. Don Beyer has one of the worst financial integrity ratings in Congress. For years, he's accepted corporate PAC money without facing a serious primary challenge. That's changing. Here are my remarks from Sunday's Fairfax County Democratic Candidate Forum in Virginia's 8th Congressional District.
Attended the Alexandria Pride Fest to show my support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
On the next #ArrestedDevelopment, @beyer.house.gov opens another Volvo dealership while GOB makes a friend. #alexandria #arlington #fallschurch #Politics
Why does @beyer.house.gov accept corporate PAC contributions from defense contractors? These are the same companies that make the bombs falling on civilians across the Middle East. #alexandria #arlington #fallschurch #virginia #midterms
Who understands regular people’s struggles more, @beyer.house.gov or Lucille Bluth? #ArrestedDevelopment #Midterms #Alexandria #Arlimgton #Fallschurch
The UK’s next Prime Minister may be someone I worked with for years through a State Department partnership that the Trump administration dismantled. #Politics #Trump #DOGE #UK #AndyBurnham
The partnership I formed with Greater Manchester (UK) & future UK PM Andy Burnham after the terrorist attack in 2017 is one of the greatest examples of American soft power, but instead of a promotion I am nearing the one-year anniversary of my layoff. DOGE didn’t put America First with these cuts.
