INTERVIEW – CHARLES HERNICK – Candidate for United States Representative, VA 8th District, running against Don Beyer

Charles Hernick is the Republican Congressional nominee for Virginia’s 8th District–Arlington, Falls Church, Fairfax, and Alexandria. He secured 78% of the primary vote by focusing on the district’s most pressing issues:
Better conditions for small business–We need to reduce taxes and regulations that make it difficult for small business to hire and grow.
National security–We need to ensure our troops have the equipment they need and that our Veterans receive the best care possible.
Improving government efficiency–We need to invest in modern technology for Federal employees.
Holding Metro accountable–Metro (WMATA) needs to be accountable to the taxpayers. We need a long term solution for the continued delays and shutdowns.
Hernick opposes the proposed meals tax in Fairfax County.
Don Beyer, 66, faces first-time Republican candidate Charles Hernick in Virginia’s 8th District. A bilingual millennial who describes himself as leaning libertarian on many social issues, Hernick, 35, has tried to appeal to young voters who want Congress to address the national debt, end political gridlock and speed the pace of change.
