I'm Rob Banse — father, pastor, and Democrat for Delegate in HD-30.
I've spent my life leading communities as a pastor, and I know that there's more that unites our community than divides us. I hope you'll join me. 👟

My opponent was condemned for "headlining [a] “Stop the Steal” rally on Nov. 8, 2020, alongside Oath Keepers militia founder Stewart Rhodes. Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in the Capitol insurrection."
Our democracy is on the ballot. Vote Nov 7.
NEW: More than a fifth of Virginia GOP candidates have questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election, and some even joined the Jan. 6, 2021, ‘Stop the Steal’ rally.
Democracy is on the ballot!

My opponent headlined and attended numerous Stop the Steal rallies across Loudoun County. At one, he warned “we’re not going to have a peaceful transition of power.”
Election deniers threaten our democracy and have no place in our government.
Just days after Biden won re-election, Republican Geary Higgins (
#HD30
), spoke at a first of-it's-kind "Stop the Steal" rally alongside high-profile members of the far-right.
He is one of many election deniers running in Virginia. We have to stop them.
