Eileen Filler-Corn, 56th Speaker, Responds to False Attacks |
Loudoun County, VA – Today, former Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn released a response to the false attacks from Virginia Democratic Action Committee PAC, a shadowy dark money group founded by fellow Democrats for the express purpose of attacking her record.
“It is disappointing but unsurprising that I face false and baseless attacks from a dark money group,” said Filler-Corn. “It is clear that my message – that we need women on the frontlines defending our rights and our freedom – resonates with voters.

These false attacks are plainly sexist and rely on vile antisemitic tropes. I will continue to run a positive race that highlights my experience and track record of delivering for the Commonwealth. I hope my primary opponents will speak out against this attack and promise to run a positive campaign. Democrats should not be attacking each other.” Here are the facts:
