Candidate for Congress born and raising his family in Virginia's 5th District. @UVA alum. Proud husband, father, and Virginian.

1/ This is Ashley with our daughter Elizabeth. She was born severely premature - she weighed just under 3 pounds. Our healthcare bill for her stay in the hospital was in the neighborhood of $500k, and those costs can be devastating to a family.

Congrats to @LeslieCockburn for your hard fought victory. You have my assurances that I’ll work my tail off to make you the next congresswoman from #VA05 https://t.co/0KHfuT9s8q

Thank you Charlottesville, Fauquier, Greene, Brunswick and Mecklenburg. A great day of caucuses. We have 140 delegates and are celebrating! On to Farmville May 5th.

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Today, I'm ending my campaign for #VA05, but I won't stop fighting for my hometown and our community.

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Thanks to my brother @cullopsm for hosting a Meet-and-Greet during our run-up to the caucuses. Your best supporters are always your family. I’m still taller than you. #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

So glad to have the support of young leaders like Sarah as we fight to make Washington work for everyone. Young people all across this district and across the country are leading the way, I’m glad to join with them to make change a reality! #VA05 https://t.co/mDd7QejmOe

Letter to the Editor: @Cullop4Congress is "a candidate close to our age who relates to our experience as college students and is acutely aware of how stressful it is to plan for a successful future beyond these Grounds"

Thanks to the Cville Moms Demand chapter for hosting me tonight to discuss gun safety. I will fight to advance gun policies that will make our families and communities safer. That’s why @MomsDemand has named me as a Gun Sense Candidate. #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

When the vast majority of the benefit goes to those at the very top, I ask why doesn’t the middle class get that benefit instead? They’re the ones that drive the economy. Weak spin to defend a weak incumbent. You’ll have to do better than that to protect @GarrettforVA #VA05 https://t.co/hGqz3OhwY8

.@Cullop4Congress, crumbs? How original. @NancyPelosi would be proud. Why don't #VA05 Democrats support bigger paychecks and better bonuses for working Virginians? #TaxCutsandJobsAct

@timkaine kicked off his 2018 campaign in Charlottesville today, and I was proud to be there to support him. He is one of my role models in politics - his sincerity, intelligence, and thoughtfulness are all reasons he deserves to be re-elected. #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Got to speak with many of our future leaders at the VAYD welcome reception last night. Thanks to @DemsatUVA for hosting and thanks to @CreighDeeds for his inspiring message from our leaders in the General Assembly!

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Thanks to the Bedford Dems for their forum last night. Thoughtful questions from a good audience always make my night! #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Pictures from last night’s forum. Thanks to the Brunswick Dems for hosting such a great event! #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Some more pictures from this weekend’s Charlotte County Dems Forum, great weather for a great discussion on critical issues like jobs and healthcare! #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

For all who celebrate, Happy Easter from my family to yours!

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Glad I could stop by and chat with some of the activists with @MomsDemand to talk about important gun reforms that I will fight for in Congress. #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Thank you to the Smith Mountain Lake Dems for hosting a great forum tonight in Moneta. Topics covered a wide range of subjects - broadband access, promoting tourism, and solving the opioid crisis. We’ll see you next time!

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

When discussing education, there is no better way to go than talking with a great group of Virginia educators! Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts on creating an educational system that works for all students. #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

I’m shocked that a congressman who won’t hold in-person town halls is blocking constituents on Twitter. Shocked I tell you. #VA05 https://t.co/wczu7LJ7uq

[Indivisible Charlottesville @indivisibleVA05]

Hey @ACLUVA, our congressman @RepTomGarrett blocked us on his @GarrettforVA Twitter account out of the blue. What can we do?

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Thanks to the Danville Dems for their forum last night! The questions focused heavily on creating jobs in Southside Virginia. This is one of the most important issues in this race! #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

I saw roughly 100 people in Halifax last night. We are seeing incredible energy across the entire district. Thanks to the Halifax Dems for such a great event! #VA05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

Made my secret family recipe for the @CvilleDems annual Pasta Supper. Even added extra squirrel for the special occasion. #va05

[Ben Cullop @Cullop4Congress]

What a great turnout for the Indivisible Candidate Debate! Thanks to @indivisibleVA05 for hosting, we spent lots of time talking about serious issues. This is democracy at work! Special thanks to our moderator @pastpunditry #VA05
