Mike Pruitt announced his candidacy July 22, the second Dem this year aiming to defeat John McGuire for the 5th District congressional seat next fall.
Mike grew up in the rural Blue Ridge Mountains and served in the United States Navy. He currently works as a civil rights attorney and serves on the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors. Mike’s website says he’s running to help working families that are struggling to make ends meet, while Washington politicians are making things worse. His primary goals and issues are to provide more opportunity and affordability for families, safer places to live, quality health care, and more secure retirements.
Paul Riley is also running for the Fifth District seat, as noted in our early July newsletter. Scroll down for that news item.
