ICYMI: Colonel Bree Fram's Congressional Launch Draws $102,000 in 24 Hours, National Media Attention

Ousted Space Force Leader Draws Support from 43 States, Coverage from The Advocate, WUSA9, Washington Blade, and More

FAIRFAX COUNTY: In the first 24 hours after Colonel Bree Fram announced her campaign for Congress, the retired Space Force leader raised more than $102,000 from over 400 individual donors across 43 states. A sign that her message of service, democracy, and opportunity is resonating far beyond Northern Virginia.

Fram's launch also drew coverage from The Advocate, WUSA9, InsideNova, the Washington Blade, and FFX Now. In an interview with InsideNOVA, Fram said, "I'm running on a platform that is about service and character, one that is about protecting strong democracy, including our basic rights, particularly freedom of speech, freedom of assembly that are under threat across America right now."

The granddaughter of immigrants and refugees who fled rising authoritarianism in Europe, Fram answered her country's call after September 11, 2001. Over 23 years in the military, she rose to the rank of Colonel, led billion-dollar national security programs, deployed to Iraq and Qatar, served in senior roles at the Pentagon, and was a founding member of the Space Force. Earlier this year, the Trump administration abruptly ended her military service. Not for her performance, but because of who she is.

Fram refused to let that be the end of her service.

"Too many Americans are afraid of what their own government is doing to them, instead of confident it's working for them," said Colonel Fram. "That's why I'm running for Congress."

As the mother of two Fairfax County public school students and a longtime Northern Virginia resident, Fram is running to make the region more affordable, protect Virginians' rights, and ensure government works for the people it serves.
