Today, Derrick Anderson, candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District, received the endorsement of fellow Special Operations combat Veteran, Congressman Brian Mast.

“Now more than ever, we need leaders in Congress who know what it means to serve selflessly, and as a former Special Forces Green Beret, Derrick understands what it takes. I am confident his experience will help us get our country back on track, so I am proud to endorse Derrick Anderson for Congress,” said Congressman Brian Mast.

“I’m honored to receive Congressman Brian Mast’s endorsement. He is a Purple Heart recipient and put his life on the line while serving in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army Rangers. Congressman Mast is a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committees, both pivotal for Virginia’s 7th District. He also serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee to help strengthen the security of the United States at a time when we need it most,” said Anderson.
