Mark Warner

United States Senator (VA)

“James Walkinshaw hit the ground running as Virginia’s newest Member of Congress—and he hasn’t slowed down for a second. I’ve worked closely with James to stand up for federal workers, rein in Donald Trump’s abuses of power, and deliver real results for Virginia. He’s experienced, relentless, and effective, and he’s exactly the kind of leader we need. I’m proud to support his re-election and urge everyone in Virginia’s 11th District to do the same.”

Tim Kaine

United States Senator (VA)

“Since being elected in September, James Walkinshaw has been everywhere—listening, leading, and fighting for Virginia. He’s a tireless advocate on the issues that matter most to our community: lowering costs, protecting Virginians’ health care, and standing up for federal workers. James is principled, prepared, and deeply committed to public service and I’m proud to endorse him.”

“From championing fair pay raises and shutdown protections to founding the bipartisan and bicameral Federal Workforce Caucus, Walkinshaw has demonstrated a clear understanding of the importance of a strong, nonpartisan civil service and the need to protect federal workers from political attacks and instability. AFGE is proud to support a leader who understands the vital role federal workers play in serving our nation and who will continue defending their rights, pay, and dignity in Congress.”

Abigail Spanberger

Governor of Virginia

“I served in Congress and know what it takes to get results. You need to listen, do your homework, then work hard to get results. That’s what Congressman Walkinshaw has done. Since being elected last year, he’s taken on the Trump Administration to protect federal workers, delivered federal funding for Virginia, and fought to defend our values. I’m proud to support him for re-election.”

Ghazala Hashmi

Lieutenant Governor of Virginia

“As a former educator, State Senator, and now Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor, I know James Walkinshaw is someone we can trust to always put our students, teachers, and families first. He has the courage to stand up to Donald Trump’s relentless attacks on public education — his first act in Congress was to prevent Donald Trump from gutting the Department of Education. No one works harder for our most vulnerable children, and I’m proud to be supporting his re-election.”
