Meet Rod Thompson
Rod Thompson was born in Athens, GA. As a child of the 1980s, Rod spent his formidable teen years watching his parents fight to keep their heads above the poverty level, in the aftermath of divorce and economic downfall. Learning the importance of self-improvement and personal motivation, in 1999, Rod enlisted in the United States Navy, serving for almost twenty-three years on Active Duty, to include ten combatant deployments around the globe, for a combined total of more than six years abroad in defense of the United States.
In 2003, Rod was onboard USS Constellation where he felt the roar of jets launching in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, beginning the war in Iraq. Rod was later deployed in Talil, Iraq in 2006, where he conducted surveillance, intelligence gathering and troop support operations, playing a vital role in US troops pushing back the rising insurgency.

I was alerted to this Daily Wire article yesterday, when a supporter text me to ask if I knew anything about this Virginia Department of Health program that promotes “Queer Kid Stuff.”
Upon receipt, I immediately reached out to the VDH, and a confidential source provided me with a ...brief overview of policies created under Ralph Northam’s State Health Commissioner, Dr. M. Norman Oliver. This has the earmarks of one of his far-left, radical programs. No word on internal actions to shut it down.
I’m still digging around to get to the roots though, because taxpayer money should NOT go towards funding the promotion of Chat rooms designed so that kids can hide them from their parents.
This IS NOT an attack on the LGB community, but is, again, a metered response to wasteful government spending and further grooming and exploitation of the youth.
My opponent leads every stump speech with a line that he’s running “to protect our kids” - but where is he? Who has he talked to? What is he doing to protect our kids?
I will never stop fighting for America’s future. Vote accordingly.

— Original —Virginia Dept of Health Promotes ‘Queer Kid Stuff,’ Chat For ‘LGBTQ+’-Identifying TeensBy Spencer Lindquist•May 31, 2023...
www.dailywire.comTotal honor to be on the John Fredericks Show!
Of note, John asked, “Are you the MAGA Conservative in your race” and my answer was the same as always: I’m a Reagan Republican.
I’m here to support Gov Glenn Youngkin, do the work for the People, and keep big government in ...check. Plain and maybe not so simple.
We need to get this commonwealth and country back on track - and that starts by reigniting patriotism and civic loyalty in the hearts of the People! They want representatives who know their place and work on behalf of the citizenry! They want normalcy. They want everything that we once had but lost along the way.
Modern democrat extremists have bludgeoned personal freedoms, destroyed our economy, and seek to impose their social/socialist will upon us and our children at every turn!
We must stop their expansion into our district, and I’m the candidate that’s going to fight in the 84th! I have never failed in serving you as a citizen, and I will not fail as your Delegate.
Let me fight for you!

I know the pit that forms in your stomach when you know a deployment is coming. I commend and salute Virginia National Guard for taking the fight to the border, aiding in securing our southern border. We now live in an era where it’s time for the states to step up and take action in the face of ...federal incompetence and inaction by the Biden administration.
After connecting with a board member for the Port of Virginia, I’m awaiting a data dump from the Port Authority that will help me to navigate the projected logistics expansion westward into our district!
You deserve a delegate who does the work, establishes connections, and has the ...vision to understand where this district is heading. I’m doing that RIGHT NOW! You have to do the job before you ask for the job.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. (John 15:13)
We'll never deserve, earn, or be worthy of the sacrifices made by men and women throughout the history of this country. As I say every year, the best we can do is to live our best ...lives, love our neighbors, and be an American worth dying for.
Be an American worth dying for.
Spent this blessed Sunday in the home of a well-respected former politician, taking a much needed breath during this final month of the campaign.
It was a privilege to break bread with their friends and family, and build new friendships with people who have a vested stake in the future of ...the commonwealth and this district.
Of note, I made a profound network connection with a member of the Port Authority who took the time to discuss my concerns, and those of others in the district.
Being the Delegate isn’t just about the canned promises of opposing abortion and defending gun rights. It’s knowing what your neighbors truly need and working in earnest to represent them accordingly.
Out here knocking these doors before the bottom drops out! We couldn’t ask for a better day to hit the streets. Cool, breezy, but with just enough threat of inclement weather that folks have stayed home!
Sign up and come join us out here. I’m personally knocking doors and talking to ...people seven days a week!

I went to Utah Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église during the Summer of 2005. It was a uniquely humbling experience because all I could imagine is what it must have been like on D-Day, yet I was distracted by the fact that in modern times, it's just a normal beach.
All that remains from ...the war are the German gun nests, now filled with sand, a museum, and two rusted hulls exposed through the surf off the coast. French folks lay in the sand, sunbathing, and kids ran around playing with a red rubber ball on the water's edge.
Still, there was a lingering energy in the air. The kind that tickles your neck and steals your breath with some phantom weight on your chest. You can't help but think of all who died there to keep this world from falling under tyrannical rule, and how we wouldn't have anything that we have today if it weren't for them. Just like Christian grace, the United States only has all that we have solely because of the blood shed by someone on our behalf.
We owe them - but we're failing to pay that debt.
