Mr. Jaffery is a proponent of an active government role in addressing societal inequities and implementing reforms that help improve the well-being of the citizens of the country.
Mr. Jaffery’s primary focus as a congressman will be on addressing key issues confronting the residents of Virginia, such as energy, healthcare, and transportation.
Mr. Jaffery wants to impose higher taxes on the rich to fund social and economic reforms. Simultaneously, he wants to reduce the tax burden on low-income families.

Mr. Jaffery strongly supports the overturning of “Citizens United v. FEC” verdict of the Supreme Court that marked a major shift in campaign finance law. The 2010 verdict opened the floodgates of money in politics by striking down federal limits on independent political spending by corporations and nonprofit organizations.
Mr. Jaffery wants to introduce electoral reforms embodying ranked-choice voting in presidential elections. This allows voters to rank candidates and eliminates the “spoiler effect” of the current system.
“Suhas, Suhas, you can’t hide, stop supporting genocide!”
Mr. Jaffery is running to unseat Suhas Subramanyam who is funded by pro-Israel groups, such as AIPAC and the Democratic Majority for Israel.
Suhas was one of 45 Democrats in Congress, and the only Democrat from Virginia who voted with Republicans supporting a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court for issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu for conducting the Gaza genocide.
Moreover, Suhas never called for the U.S. to stop sending weapons to Israel that are being used for the genocide. In August 2025, there was a big protest outside the Leesburg office of Suhas in which the protestors chanted, “Suhas, Suhas, you can’t hide, stop supporting genocide!”
