• Both chambers of Congress passed a resolution to end a war this year. It used a form that never reaches the President’s desk, so the war went on. Each time Congress "checks" the executive this way, it looks like a check. It isn’t one. Both parties protect whichever President they share. The other side settles for statements. This race doesn’t need change. It needs backbone. Be part of the Purple Vision. Vote Matt Baker, Independent. Early voting is open now. Election Day is November 3.

• If you watched ABC's "This Week" this weekend, you saw a segment titled "Navy Veterans Vie for Virginia Beach-Area House Seat." You'd be surprised to know there's a third candidate on the ballot in VA-2. You'd be surprised to know he's a Naval Academy graduate who earned his commission as a Marine Corps officer. You'd be surprised to know he served in combat in Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. You'd be surprised to know he's an independent — at a moment when both parties sit at near-histo

• Debate for VA-02 Congressional Candidates. Jen Kiggans for Congress and Elaine Luria when is the debate? We are going to have one, right? Voters should see and hear directly from all the candidates. A few areas I’d like to talk about in a public forum (readers, please add additional in the comments): Affordability and the impact of war and tariffs. Election integrity for the past 10 years. 2nd Amendment rights. Military readiness, deployments, equipment, and facilities. Veteran issues. Data

• This picture shows an affordability crisis here TODAY. I don’t need to drive around to find $6.37 for a gallon of diesel, the highest price in state history. Both parties try short-term, short-lived gimmicks to lower prices. Before the 2022 mid-terms, the last administration released 180 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve — and never refilled it. Before this year's mid-terms, this administration released 172 million more. TODAY the reserve holds 285 million barrels. Abou

• Show up. Do the job. Follow the money. I went to the Creeds Ruritan Club Candidate Forum tonight. Thank you first and foremost to the Creeds Ruritan Club for hosting the event. Seven City Council candidates, three School Board candidates, and about 50 community members were there. What I learned: 1. Show up. It was humbling to be around people so expert in things I'm not. Candidates and residents alike cared deeply about southern Virginia Beach and its agriculture. By being there, I learned a

• Independent means no party, not a lean toward one. Call me purple: I share some ideas with the red side and some with the blue. In the military, joint is purple: every service working as one team. In a joint command, no one asks which service you lean toward. Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Guardian, Coast Guardsman: the uniform doesn't decide anything. The mission does, and the team gets the job done. That's the Purple Vision for VA-02: a representative who answers to all the people of the d
