In recent elections, Virginia has turned blue, thanks to liberal transplants funneling into Northern Virginia.
But not all is lost. A diverse conservative candidate with a compelling life story is capable of appealing to a broader electorate.
Navy lieutenant, former diplomat, and Georgetown basketball player, Omari Faulker, who’s running for Senate, may be that candidate.
Per the Daily Wire:
Through challenges that he faced growing up, Faulker developed a heart for serving others that is evident in what he has chosen to do for work. After playing basketball at Georgetown University, Omari traveled around the world while serving in the Bush administration at the U.S. State Department.
Faulker said that as he traveled the world he witnessed many regimes in foreign countries limiting the rights and freedoms of their citizens and became determined to protect that rights and freedoms that the U.S. Constitution grants to Americans so that his four young daughters could grow up in a country that afforded him the opportunities that made his life possible.
Rooted in his Christian principles, Omari has also served in the U.S. Navy Reserves and has had success in the business world within the national security and defense industry and serves as an adjunct professor at his alma mater, Georgetown University, and mentors students across the country.
I was taught to always challenge myself to be better. Now today, as conflict seeks to divide us & politicians fail us, it’s time to challenge our leaders to be better. #BeBetterVA pic.twitter.com/8a6Rru7977

If elected, Faulker promises to defend the Second Amendment vigorously against the Democrats’ anti-freedom agenda.
