“Congressman Wolf has been in D.C. for so long that he’s lost touch with our community and become part of the problem in Congress,” Richard Bolger said in a press release. “Northern Virginians deserve better than Congressman Wolf and the Republican Party's extremism, obstruction, and dysfunction, and I’m excited to bring solution-oriented leadership to address the challenges and opportunities facing Northern Virginia and the nation.”
