KELLEN SQUIRE ENDORSES JOSH THRONEBURG FOR CD-5
Charlottesville – Josh Throneburg, Democratic candidate for Virginia’s Fifth District U.S. Representative, announced today that his campaign was endorsed by ER nurse and HD-55 Delegate candidate Kellen Squire.
Squire said that his endorsement was based on Josh’s commitment to universal healthcare and the values that drive his campaign.
“As an ER Nurse having been on the frontlines of the COVID pandemic for the last two years, I’ve seen firsthand what decades of undermining rural healthcare has done to our Central Virginia communities,” said Squire. “And as a Christian, I’ve seen far too many politicians who claim to be fans of Jesus Christ, but refuse to follow his example in pursuing love and justice, and fighting for the most vulnerable among us. That’s why I’m endorsing Josh. As an ER Nurse, I know he’ll fight unapologetically in Washington to make sure people can access the care they need. And as a Christian, I know he’s not just a fan of Jesus Christ; he’s a Follower, willing to step up and lead in His example.”
“I’m so proud to have Kellen’s endorsement,” said Josh. “As someone working in the medical field during this pandemic, Kellen knows all too well the challenges and dangers that everyday Americans face. He was also on the front lines in the ER after Unite the Right and has seen the damage evil can do. Nevertheless, he still believes in our country’s better angels and moves through the world with hope in a way that is inspirational. He is oriented toward service and encouragement, and I have been grateful for his support in this campaign.”
Josh resides in the City of Charlottesville with his wife, Minhee, and their daughters, Agnes and Lucy. He is an ordained minister and local small business owner.
