They tried to silence me

I know what it means to fight when the stakes are real.

I was in Trump’s Oval Office. Now I’m MAGA’s greatest enemy, and I’m running for Congress.

They tried to silence me.

Trump pretended he never met me. His press secretary called me a failure. Kash Patel threatened me with litigation. His MAGA allies harassed me, tried to bankrupt me, and even threatened to kill me.

They thought that would stop me.

They were absolutely wrong.

My name is Olivia Troye, and just last week, I announced my campaign for Congress in Virginia.

If you’re ready to elect someone who knows how to go toe-to-toe with Trump and his MAGA allies, I’m hoping I can count on you to become a Founding Donor to my campaign straight away.

I’m the daughter of a truck driver and a Mexican immigrant. I grew up in a working-class Texas border town and learned English watching Sesame Street. After my parents divorced, my mom and I leaned on family and made ends meet without health insurance. When I found out my stepfather was abusing her, I helped her flee in the middle of the night.

So I know what it means to fight when the stakes are real.

After September 11th, I felt called to serve. I went to work at the Pentagon, spent a year in a warzone in Iraq, and served under both President Bush and President Obama in counter-terrorism roles.

Then I saw MAGA up close – and it’s even more dangerous than you think.

So I spoke out. I told the truth about Trump’s handling of COVID. About the chaos. The corruption. The cruelty.

And I earned the right enemies.

I’m not connected. I’m not rich. I’m not carrying a famous last name. But that’s exactly why I’m running – to represent the people, not the powerful.

Northern Virginia needs a fighter in Congress. Someone who won’t back down when courage requires it. Someone who’s already proven they can take the heat.

This is the moment. Our country is on the line.

Will you make a donation right now to become a Founding Donor of my campaign? Every dollar we raise in this first week sends a signal that Northern Virginia is ready for a different kind of leader.

I’ve spent my career standing up to abusers – in my family, in warzones, in the White House. I’m ready to do it again in Congress.

Join me in this fight.
