Democrat in congressional race betting on a changing 7th district.
As a longtime educator, it’s only natural that Jack Trammell would use a familiar allegory to describe his time on the campaign trail in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District over the past several months.
“I consider myself in graduate school for knowing the people of the 7th district, and when I graduate [Nov. 4] I plan to have a degree in knowing what the 7th district needs to move forward,” he said. . .
Overall, Trammell said he’s in this race due to his frustration with obstruction, partisanship and lack of accomplishment in Congress. Trammell said he had been approached about possibly running during past election cycles but declined, opting instead to focus on family. With his children now out of school or in college, Trammell finally agreed.
“I’ve been in education almost 25 years, I’ve made a career, I’ve raised my kids and now it’s time for me to put my money where my mouth is and actually try to do something to change things,” he said.
