This district is a historic bastion of liberty. It was first represented in Congress by the \u201cfather of our Constitution\u201d and fourth President of the United States, James Madison. It was also the historical home of Thomas Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States. Today, the 5th District is represented by another American patriot.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Bob Good is not yet a household name, but you had better believe he\u2019s the Swamp\u2019s worst nightmare. As the newly elected chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, Good is following in the footsteps of Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, Andy Biggs, and Scott Perry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1084377718\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7d9a526fea17f5e18794e42891ee0d7b fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7d9a526fea17f5e18794e42891ee0d7b\"><\/div>\n<p>Good\u2019s voting record is exemplary.

Few other members of the House can match his conservative bona fides, and you will find no one with a better record than Bob Good in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The Freedom Caucus is the conscience of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives. This group of courageous patriots hold fellow Republicans accountable to keep the promises they made to voters. No one is more outspoken than Chairman Good.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e762457d24c1868b8558bb7efa00ae44 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e762457d24c1868b8558bb7efa00ae44\"><\/div>\n<p>As you can imagine, many establishment Republicans do not like being held accountable for their votes. Nor do lobbyists and special interests like it when business as usual in the Swamp is threatened by Republicans who are intent on keeping their campaign promises.<\/p>\n<p>No one is more a creature of Washington than former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. When Good joined seven other House Republicans to <a href=\"https:\/\/richmond.com\/news\/state-regional\/government-politics\/bob-good-virginia-democrats-voted-against-kevin-mccarthy-speaker\/article_012ce134-621a-11ee-a15a-5fa2169c0a3e.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remove <\/a>him from office for breaking promise after promise to his colleagues and the American people, McCarthy and his allies began plotting their revenge. <\/p>\n<p>Not long after his removal from the speaker\u2019s office, McCarthy\u2019s allies identified an ambitious and newly elected Virginia state senator and promised him millions of dollars in outside support to run against Chairman Good. Once the Swamp had an opponent who filed for the seat, lobbyists in Washington and mega-donors from New York and California began <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/election-congress-virginia-bob-good-f41ea69d2686fc41254d58e295afe80a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pouring <\/a>millions of dollars of negative advertising into the race, turning it into the most expensive and nastiest congressional primary of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of McCarthy\u2019s revenge tour is clear. First, destroy a man they feel was responsible for ending McCarthy\u2019s speakership. Second, send a message to the House Freedom Caucus that if they continue to speak up for you, they can be taken down by the Swamp\u2019s political machine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-35384da8118dcd3f06bea789feeb55b7 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-35384da8118dcd3f06bea789feeb55b7\"><\/div>\n<p>We cannot let this happen. The conservative movement needs the Freedom Caucus at the tip of the spear to fight for us. We need proven warriors like Bob Good who are not afraid to stand up and be counted on in the face of enormous political pressure from the Swamp. Donald Trump will need these freedom fighters to have his back when he returns to the White House in January 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-39fa44dcd72a3ded747a59525cb6e7ae fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-39fa44dcd72a3ded747a59525cb6e7ae\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia&#8217;s 5th Congressional District, a historic stronghold of freedom, is currently threatened by external influences.
