On Thursday, 150 Democrat members of the House of Representatives voted against making DUI charges a deportable offense for illegal immigrants. This shameful vote included Fairfax County Congressional Representatives Don Beyer (8th District), Jennifer Wexton (10th District), and Gerry Connolly (11th District). Our elected officials are supposed to prioritize the well-being of American citizens first, rather than protecting criminals.

Beyer and Connolly are up for re-election this year, while Jennifer Wexton has announced her retirement due to health reasons. Call their offices and let them know how you feel!
