Ready to Fight On Day One.

I'm running for Congress to stop Trump's dangerous agenda and deliver for Fairfax.

Meet James

James Walkinshaw was born and raised in Northern Virginia and has devoted his career to ensuring that our community remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family. During more than a decade of service as Chief of Staff to Congressman Gerry Connolly, James oversaw all aspects of the Congressman’s office and served as his chief adviser on a host of issues, working closely with state and local officials. He is currently serving his second term representing the Braddock District on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. James, his wife Yvette, and their son Mateo live in the Truro neighborhood.

Thank You

I'm honored and humbled to have earned the Democratic nomination for the district I've spent my career serving. This victory was powered by neighbors, volunteers, and supporters who believe in protecting our democracy, defending our freedoms, and delivering for working families.
I'm especially grateful to my wife Yvette, our son, Mateo, and to the Connolly family -- Smitty and Caitlin -- for standing with me as we carry Gerry's legacy forward. The real work beings now, and I'm ready to fight with everything I've got.

I deeply appreciate the volunteers who sacrificed hundreds of hours to ensure a smooth, fair, andd transparent election. Democracy doesn't just happen -- it works because people step up and make it work. I'm incredibly grateful to each of them. I also want to thank the nine amazing Democrats who stepped up to run. Putting yourself out there to run for office is not easy, and they each brought real strengths to the race.
