Walkinshaw Wins Big: A New Champion for Federal Workers!

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up! We have a game-changer in the House of Representatives, and his name is James Walkinshaw. This guy just won a landslide victory in Virginia’s 11th Congressional District, and he’s ready to shake things up for federal workers. Walkinshaw is the successor to the legendary Gerry Connolly, who fought tooth and nail for federal workers for over 15 years. Now, Walkinshaw is stepping into those big shoes and vowing to be the biggest supporter of federal workers in the House.

The IAM Union and the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM) were instrumental in Walkinshaw’s campaign, rallying broad support from the labor movement and community organizations in Northern Virginia. Walkinshaw secured over 75% of the vote in the September 9 special election, which saw record-setting turnout. This is a MASSIVE win for federal workers, and it’s just the beginning.

Walkinshaw represents a critical vote in the House, where the IAM Union and NFFE are pushing for the passing of the Protect America’s Workforce Act (H.R. 2550). This bill would restore collective bargaining rights for over one million federal workers after President Trump denied their union rights via executive order in March. This is a no-brainer, folks! Federal workers deserve to have their voices heard, and Walkinshaw is the man to make it happen.



Walkinshaw’s background as a former Chief of Staff to Gerry Connolly gives him a strategic advantage in his new role. He knows the ins and outs of Capitol Hill, and he has the relationships to get things done. This guy is a legislative machine, and he’s ready to hit the ground running. He’s already planning to reach out to key players like Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), the top Rules Committee Democrat, for guidance on his new role. This is how you do it, folks!

Walkinshaw’s experience has given him a deep understanding of the specific issues facing federal workers in his district. He’s identified the “ongoing impacts on federal workers and contractors in northern Virginia” as a key area of focus. His experience working with Connolly on these issues has given him a deep understanding of the challenges faced by federal workers and the strategies needed to address them. This expertise allows him to advocate more effectively for federal workers and to introduce legislation that is tailored to their needs.

Walkinshaw’s commitment to defending federal workers and the institutions that support them is unwavering. As Randy Erwin, National President of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM), noted, “James is well-versed in the federal government’s inner workings. He’s been on the front lines of every significant political battle affecting federal employees and the contractors who serve the American people.” This commitment, combined with his experience and expertise, makes Walkinshaw a formidable advocate for federal workers.

So, what does this mean for you? It means that federal workers finally have a champion in the House of Representatives who is ready to fight for their rights. It means that the Protect America’s Workforce Act has a fighting chance of passing. It means that the reckless Trump agenda is on the ropes, and federal workers are ready to take back their power.

Do this! Support James Walkinshaw and the Protect America’s Workforce Act. Stay away from the naysayers who want to keep federal workers down. This is a no-brainer, folks! Federal workers deserve better, and Walkinshaw is the man to make it happen. BOO-YAH! This stock’s a winner!
