Dan Helmer Launches First Broadcast Television Ad in VA-10

The ad will run on major networks across the district and highlights Helmer’s unique ability to protect our democracy along with his endorsement by the Washington Post Editorial Board

Fairfax, VA — Today, Dan Helmer’s campaign placed the first broadcast television advertisement in the race for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District. The ad, which will run on major networks across the district beginning tomorrow and run through Election Day on June 18th, highlights the stakes for our democracy as well as Helmer’s recent endorsement by the Washington Post Editorial Board.

“I served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’ve seen what happens when extremists trample people’s rights,” said Helmer in the ad. “It’s why I wrote the bill to ban January 6th insurrectionists from holding office and led the fight to protect abortion rights in Virginia.”
