Former Special Forces soldier and Republican congressional candidate Derrick Anderson has received another big name endorsement in his bid to flip a competitive Virginia House seat.
EXCLUSIVE: Former U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret and combat veteran Derrick Anderson has received another big name endorsement in his bid to flip one of the nation's most competitive House seats from the Democrats. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., a former Army Ranger, announced Thursday he would be backing Anderson to represent Virginia's 7th Congressional District currently held by Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va.
Anderson told Fox he was 'honored' to accept the endorsement, and that Cotton was 'a strong conservative fighter' who 'gets the job done.' Last month, he received endorsements from Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., a former Navy SEAL, Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., an Army veteran, and Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., a former Green Beret.
Republicans currently hold a slim five-seat majority in the House of Representatives and are hoping to build on that next year, partly by capitalizing on the unpopularity of President Biden. The party gained control of the chamber following the 2022 midterm elections, but performed well below expectations.
