It’s going to take time to sort through what happened Tuesday. But I've read a lot of takes the past few days (some good, many bad), and I've had a lot of people ask how I won one of the toughest districts in the country by over 13%.

What Trump did at Arlington is a disgrace.
I served two combat tours in Iraq. I have friends & fellow soldiers – heroes who gave their lives to protect our country – buried in Section 60.

Arlington Cemetery is the resting place for nearly 400,000 of our nation’s heroes, going all the way back to the Civil War.
That includes men and women we lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, whose final resting place is Section 60.
