If you’re Derrick Anderson, a candidate running in an open race for Virginia’s seventh congressional district, you borrow a wife and daughters from a friend.

Can’t promote a childless dog dude in a party where the VP candidate won’t stop making creepy comments about childless cat ladies, after all.
@Coctaanatis That is outrageous, did he use campaign money to pay these people? Vote blue up and down the ballot.
@JPSCHWEIZER63 Probably not. He borrowed a friends family.
@Coctaanatis i wonder how his fiance felt when he posed with a fake family?
@gls No first-hand knowledge, but I'd wager she's in it for the Mrs. Congressman.
Anyway, it's a very close race, and the feel-good family photos probably help with low information voters.
I should note that this is the guy running against Eugene Vindman.
