Webb Campaign Releases New TV Commercial Highlighting Support from Law Enforcement
Charlottesville, VA — Dr. Cameron Webb, Democratic nominee for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, released a new campaign ad highlighting supporters in law enforcement and his platform on issues of policing.
The ad draws on Cameron’s upbringing as the son of a law enforcement official who spent decades working at the DEA and Cameron’s platform on supporting and investing in policing as part of a comprehensive plan for criminal justice reform. It will air across VA-05 starting today, Wednesday, September 9, and will run on broadcast, cable, and digital platforms.
The ad features testimonials from a number of prominent former and current law enforcement officials from Virginia’s Fifth District, including two former sheriffs of Campbell County, and their full endorsements are included below:

“Serving as Sheriff of Fluvanna County for over 14 years, I know the struggles our police officers face and why it’s critical to have leaders who support law enforcement” said former Fluvanna County Sheriff Ryant Washington. “That first-hand experience is why I am proud to endorse Dr. Cameron Webb for Congress. From his upbringing in a law enforcement family to his views on investing in policing, I am confident that Dr. Webb will be the right leader for Virginia’s 5th district and a Congressman that law enforcement can trust.”
