Retired Space Force Colonel Bree Fram Launches Campaign for Congress in Virginia

RESTON, VA — Today, Bree Fram, a retired U.S. Space Force Colonel, rocket scientist, and national security leader who spent more than two decades in uniform, keeping Americans safe, launched her campaign for Congress in Virginia with the release of a new video. Fram is running to defend democracy, expand economic opportunity, and restore effective government that works to help, not hurt its people.

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. Fram 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.

As the mother of two Fairfax County public school students and a longtime Northern Virginia resident, she believes our families deserve more. From rising housing costs to government interference in our classrooms and attacks on our neighbors for who they are, Virginia deserves a leader who will stand up, fight back, and deliver for families across the Commonwealth.

“Too many Americans are afraid of what their own government is doing to them, instead of confident it’s working for them. That’s why I’m running for Congress.” Fram says. “I will fight to make our Virginia community more affordable, protect our rights, and build a government that actually works for you. I intend to deliver an accessible, inclusive American Dream, ensuring that Virginia remains diverse, safe and economically vibrant for all.”
