Endorsements & Testimonials

"When I first connected with Elizabeth, what stood out to me wasn’t just her platform - it was her posture. It felt like a conversation about kids who deserve better. As someone who has lived in foster care, I’ve learned to pay attention to whether people are talking about youth in care or talking with us. She listens with the kind of intention that tells you she understands that policy is personal. Elizabeth's perspective as a foster mom changes the conversation. When you live the daily realities of the system - the court dates, the trauma triggers, the licensing requirements, the heartbreak and the hope - you understand that reform isn’t theoretical. It’s urgent."

"As an active-duty military spouse, I know what strong, humbled, and intelligent leadership looks like, and no one embodies it like Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs does. I am incredibly excited by the measured passion she is ready to bring to the US Congress. She honors service and celebrates diversity as a female combat arms veteran and foster mother. Elizabeth is proof that women in combat aren’t just fiercely strong, compassionate, thoughtful, and intelligent, but also wickedly intimidating to insecure opponents who don’t know how to handle such formidable combinations."

"I have been feeling increasingly hopeless and powerless while following the news, wanting to make a difference but unsure how to help. Finding out about Elizabeth's campaign for Congress was a breath of fresh air. As a former police officer and a father, she stands for everything I believe in. I know she will be a true voice for the people, leading fearlessly and fighting for what is right and decent. That is exactly who I want representing me."

“I first learned about Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs through her content on TikTok prior to her announcing her run for Congress, and I was immediately drawn to her message, values, and approach to public service. As both a constituent of Virginia's 1st district from Williamsburg, and as a child of a veteran, a Christian, and child of foster parents I have never resonated with a politician to the same degree. I am excited to vote for Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs and have her represent me in congress.”

"I wore the uniform in defense of this country until the administration’s ban on transgender military service cut that commitment short. I have seen public service up close, including in national security and public policy spaces, so I understand what principled leadership looks like. That is why Elizabeth’s campaign resonated with me. Although I am no longer in the First District, I believe that our country needs her voice in Congress. Elizabeth stands with all patriots who love this nation and believe that service, honor, and integrity are what truly define us, regardless of who you are."

"After serving as a medic in the Army, and then spending the next 15 years of my career in healthcare - including emergency, pediatrics, long-term care, and pharmaceuticals - I am excited about Elizabeth's campaign. She has lived experience with the challenges of our broken health system and I know that she will work across the aisle to make sure Americans get access to the care they need and deserve."
