Dave Kennedy’s “Damn the Divide” Platform
Reimagining a Better America
Damn the Divide
There’s a much better America than the one being sold to us by the political power mongers, cultural crusaders, media hounds, and the really mean and angry people in our nation. Talking, listening, and meeting people where they are will make America better. That’s why I’ve created Dave Kennedy’s “Damn the Divide” platfom.
I’ve run for Congress, studied Economics and Public Policy, and completed a later-in-life Seminary graduate degree in Theological Studies. I’m a soon-to-be published author and have included previews both on this site (under DAVE NEWS) and on my soon-to-be-available SUBSTACK. I’m a fighter and will fight for anyone who has been beaten down, demonized, sidelined to the margins, or has gotten a raw deal. Indeed, when we burst out of our bubbles and move beyond the great divide, America is better.
PRIORITIES FROM MY 2026 RUN FOR CONGRESS
Quality of Life & Local Issues
Damn the Data Centers
Big money in politics is the enemy of everyday people. It's time to take it back.
We the People
It's our time to reclaim America — for its citizens, not the powerful few.
Economic Empowerment
Dignity through real economic opportunity for working families across Virginia.
Education & Opportunity
Education that opens doors and gives every child a genuine shot at the future.
Healthcare
Health care that lets us breathe easily — accessible, affordable, and fair.
Our Environment
God's creation is ours to steward and enjoy — for ourselves and generations ahead.
THE GOOD SAMARITAN
The Best of America
The best of America is embodied in the Good Samaritan – the one who stops to help the other who is hurting - with a heart of compassion and kindness. Americans resonate toward the Good Samaritan. We yearn for a simpler life where family, work, and community provide the humble rewards of dignity, respect, and friendship. I’m thankful for your support and my commitment, regardless of what my current space in life, is this: Your Voice Counts, and I will listen.
ABOUT
Family, friends, and community are what inspire Dave to serve. His vision of America is a nation that thrives because of 1) Our Diversity and 2) Our Resilience in Times of Trouble. As one committed to a just nation — and world — Dave champions those causes that are most important to everyday folks of all backgrounds.
