Daniel Gade - Republican candidate for the US Senate in Virginia
Politics is a tough business, and for a long time I have felt we need more leadership in Congress - specifically more veterans.
And while the Presidential campaign floods the airwaves, it is the local and statewide elections this fall that will shape Congress and the political landscape.
I also believe the future of our nation depends upon an informed electorate, and so much of the news and information today is influence rather than fact. We have to invest more time listening.
The Spotlight
Because we want to share the facts and let you decide, we asked Dan to step into the VeteranCrowd Spotlight.
Dr. Daniel Gade is certainly tough enough to enter the political arena.
He is a decorated combat veteran running to represent the Commonwealth of Virginia in the US Senate race in November. A West Point graduate, Class of 1997, he was severely wounded by an IED near Ramadi in Iraq in 2004, eventually losing his right leg.
When he bled out from his wounds and exhausted the supply of blood at the field hospital, 25 Sailors and Marines with A+ blood stepped up, saving his life.
“This is America at its highest and best.” he said.
Refusing to let the enemy determine when he would leave the Army, he recovered and served until his retirement in 2017.
Running for the Senate to represent Virginia
Now Dan is the Republican candidate for the US Senate in Virginia seeking to unseat incumbent Democrat Mark Warner.
Dan was open - we talked about national issues and Virginia. Though this is his first run, he is no stranger to Washington. We talked about the economy, education, reforming healthcare, and veterans.
He is a scholar on the Constitution. We discussed free speech, gun measures, and attempts to modify or eliminate the Electoral College. And he did not shy away from the current political unrest, nor the attempts by fringe elements to hijack the message. Many thanks to Dan for stepping into the Spotlight.
