About
Source: Campaign Site
Eugene Vindman was born in Soviet Ukraine to a Jewish family during the height of the Cold War. When he was three years old, his mother died of cancer and his father Seymon fled from the bigoted, authoritarian regime with Eugene, his twin brother Alex, their older brother Len, and their Grandmother.
Eugene’s family arrived in New York City as refugees on Christmas Eve, 1979 with just $759 to their name, but with a deep faith in the American dream. His father Seymon got a job hauling furniture for $20 a day while he taught himself English. Eventually, he taught himself enough to pass an engineering exam for the city of New York to get a job as a “sandhog” building tunnels underneath the city as a member of AFSCME District Council 3.
Eugene, Alex, and Len attended public schools in Brooklyn, and after graduating from FDR High School Eugene attended SUNY Binghamton and enrolled in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at Cornell as the next step in his years-long goal to join the Army and serve the country that had given him and his family so much.
It was also at Binghamton University where Eugene met his wife Cindy who was studying Biology, she ultimately became a Molecular Geneticist. After graduating from College, Eugene was commissioned as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army. He and Cindy began what would become a 25-year career in the Army.
Eugene spent the first half of his career in the Army as a Paratrooper and Infantry officer, then after putting himself through Law School once Cindy had finished her PHD and they were raising their son, Max, he became an officer in the JAG Corps. As a JAG Eugene served across the country and around the globe. As a JAG he served as a prosecutor where he fought to protect servicewomen from sexual predators and held serious felons accountable, as well as a battlefield advisor on the law of war to U.S. Forces-Iraq & General Lloyd Austin.
In 2016, Eugene was assigned to the Pentagon, and he and Cindy settled near family in Dale City, Virginia. Later, he joined the National Security Council (NSC) as a Legal Advisor focused on international partnerships, human rights, and ethics, and eventually became the NSC’s Senior Ethics Official in the White House.
On July 25, 2019, Eugene’s twin brother, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who also served on the NSC, listened in to President Trump’s call with the President of Ukraine where Trump attempted to extort Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden. Alex reported the call to Eugene, and together they reported it up the chain of command. Trump was impeached for this attack on our democracy, but he was never held accountable. Two days after he was acquitted by the Senate he fired Alex and Eugene from the White House.
Now, Eugene has a new mission. He is running for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District to continue his service to others and defend our American values.
Eugene is ready to stand up to attacks from MAGA Republicans on our most fundamental rights – from a woman’s right to access abortion care, a student’s right to learn in a safe, high quality public school, a worker’s ability to enter the middle class, or a voter’s right to make their voice heard.
In Congress, Eugene will be an advocate for every community in the 7th district, bringing folks together around our shared values, and leading with integrity to make sure every voter can trust that he is fighting for them.

“My family came to the United States as refugees. We fled the authoritarian Soviet Union in search of American freedom. I served for 25 years in the U.S. Army to protect the values of this great country and preserve the American way of life.
– Now I’m running to represent our community, defend our rights and freedoms, and make sure that every family has the same opportunities to thrive that my family had.”
Protecting Abortion Rights and IVF
It is unconscionable that because of extreme politicians, my teenage daughter has fewer rights than her mother or grandmother – rights that women fought for generations to secure.
In Congress, I will fight to make sure that the rights of women and girls in Virginia are never dependent on politicians in Richmond or Washington, and I will stop any attempt to ban reproductive healthcare including abortion, IVF, or contraceptives in the Commonwealth.
I will restore the protections of Roe nationwide by passing the Women’s Health Protection Act, guarantee funding to care providers, and fight to ensure that servicewomen never have to worry about accessing reproductive healthcare no matter where they are stationed.
Defending our Democracy and Protecting Voting Rights
I decided to run for this seat because I deeply believe that the future of our democracy is hanging in the balance. If we don’t win this district and flip the House in November our country will face existential threats to our democracy.
Yet stopping MAGA extremists this November is just the first step. When I’m elected I will work to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and strengthen protections for election workers so that anyone who threatens a poll volunteer or election official in an attempt to undermine our vote is held accountable.
Stopping Project 2025 and Schedule F
The MAGA movement has made their intentions clear: if they take full control of the Federal Government they will fire thousands and install loyalists into our civil service.
If their scheme for Schedule F is enacted, thousands of Virginians will lose their jobs. Many more government contractors and others would be affected and our local economy would be devastated.
Fighting for Our Military Community
As an Iraq War Veteran who served in uniform for over 25 years, I have seen firsthand the toll that service takes on our servicemembers and their families, during and after the time they served. As I travel the district talking with Veterans, or when I stop by my local VFW Post, I hear directly about the issues our Military community is facing.
In Congress, I will fight to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure every Veteran is able to access world-class healthcare including mental healthcare to end the epidemic of suicide that takes the lives of thousands of Veterans each year.
I will work across the aisle to make sure our Veterans and military spouses have access to good jobs and the resources to transition into civilian life. As the husband of an Army Reserve Soldier and civil servant who supports our active-duty men and women, I know the importance of improving our infrastructure to make it easier for public servants to commute or work effectively remotely.
Strengthening Our Schools
As a product of public schools and the proud father of two kids in public schools, I recognize how critical investment in our public education is to ensure that every child can succeed.
I believe the needs of students are best known at the local level, but Congress has an important role to play in ensuring that every community has the resources necessary to deliver high-quality public education.
Combatting Book Bans
In too many of our communities across the 7th district, including most recently Spotsylvania, Madison, and King George, we have seen direct attacks by MAGA extremists on our children’s education, with local officials attempting to ban, and even burn books. Students must be allowed to learn without extreme politicians imposing views that do not align with Virginia values.\
Growing Our Economy from the Middle Out
As our country continues to recover from the pandemic we must address the constraints that held the middle class back for too long.
In Congress, I will proudly co-sponsor the PRO Act to empower workers with the right to collectively bargain. Growing up in a Labor family I witnessed the critical role that Unions have always played in building and growing the middle class.
In addition to empowering workers, I will work to eliminate business practices that stifle innovation, hurt small businesses, and increase costs for consumers.
Building A Holistic Transportation System
We must strive to build a holistic transportation system across the Region, from the Piedmont to the Potomac. These efforts will include improving I-95 to reduce congestion; expanding the Metro light rail, VRE, and Amtrak systems; and investing in local transportation infrastructure.
In Congress, I will always empower local leaders and community stakeholders to address the unique needs of our communities, instead of simply requiring them to implement federal mandates.
Growing Our Agricultural Base
Farmers play a critical role in our economy, society, and national security. America’s independent food supply is the backbone of our economy, and we must work to defend and strengthen this vital industry.
As the next member of Congress for Virginia’s Seventh District, I will work to provide resources for farmers, sustain them during hard times, and ensure that family farms get the support that they deserve.
Expanding Access to Rural Broadband
One of the most pressing concerns I hear as I travel across the district and talk with voters in rural communities is the desperate need to expand rural broadband.
We must invest in our rural communities so that kids don’t have to do their homework before school in a McDonald’s parking lot, patients can access telehealth options, and folks can work remotely from home in their own communities. In Congress, I will work to invest in the critical broadband infrastructure necessary to end this rural inequity.
Improving Access to Rural Healthcare
In the past decades, we have seen rural hospitals close across the country. In Virginia, almost a third of rural hospitals are operating at a loss, putting their future at risk.
In Congress, I will work to provide direct funding to keep these essential healthcare centers open. We must provide more flexible options to access care, including urgent care and mobile clinics. Meeting these needs requires addressing worker shortages by providing direct incentives to rural healthcare workers so they will stay in rural health settings or move to areas that need people trained in the medical field.
Folks who grew up in rural communities should not feel they need to leave those areas simply because they cannot access good healthcare. We also want those considering moving into rural communities to have confidence that they will have access to robust healthcare.
Maintaining America’s Leadership in the World
In a time of rising global instability, America must maintain its role as the leader of the rules-based order that our grandparents fought a world war to build.
In Eastern Europe that means supporting Ukraine as they repel Putin’s invasion, strengthening NATO, and working with our European allies to make sure Russia’s aggression does not go unchecked.
In the Middle East, and Africa we must continue to deepen our partnerships and support our allies as they face threats from autocratic regimes.
In Asia, we must vigorously continue to pursue our economic and strategic interests by strengthening our relationships with regional powers and checking increasingly assertive actions by our regional competitors.
Maintaining our active role on the world stage helps ensure peace, and protects the homeland from future threats, all while helping the American worker and consumer.
Innovation and Emerging Technology
For its entire history, America has stood at the forefront of technological change. These emerging fields bring fantastic opportunities and improve Americans’ lives. We must continue to support technological revolutions but always be cognizant of such changes in consumers and workers. We need an approach that allows American innovation to flourish but protects consumers and businesses and makes clear what the rules are. These technologies also have significant implications for national security.
AI has the potential to fuel our economic growth for the coming decades but also presents a host of dangers. It is important that Congress and regulators understand the technology and create an environment that allows for innovation to flourish while also having clear rules for the road, ensuring strong consumer protections to prevent this technology from being abused and safeguard our national security.
Blockchain and Crypto Technologies
The idea of the blockchain solves a really important problem in the digital and physical economy- trust. An immutable public ledger has already shown itself to be a valuable technology in areas ranging from shipping around the world all the way down to a new way of doing finance. Defining the rules of the road for these technologies will allow for the technology to thrive, drive growth, protect consumers and preserve national security.

Eugene Semyon Vindman (born Yevgeny Semyonovich Vindman;[a] June 6, 1975) is an American politician, attorney, and retired U.S. Army officer.[1] He was a deputy legal advisor for the United States National Security Council (NSC) until he was reassigned on February 7, 2020.[2][3] A member of the Democratic Party, Vindman is the U.S. member-elect for Virginia’s 7th congressional district.
Vindman came to national attention in October 2019 when his twin brother, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, testified before the United States Congress regarding the Trump–Ukraine scandal. Eugene received the report of President Trump‘s telephone call that provoked the scandal from Alexander and reported the call to senior White House lawyers. Alexander’s testimony provided evidence that resulted in a charge of abuse of power in the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
In 2024, Vindman won the Democratic nomination for Virginia’s 7th congressional district in the 2024 election.[4] He defeated Republican Derrick Anderson in the November 5 general election,[5][6] and will assume office in January 2025.[7]
Early life and education
Yevgeny Semyon Vindman (né Yevgeny Semyonovich Vindman) and his identical twin brother Alexander were born on June 6, 1975,[8] to a Jewish family in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union.[9][10] After the death of their mother, the three-year-old twins and their older brother Leonid were brought by their father, Semyon (Simon) to New York in December 1979.[11][12] Their father worked as a furniture mover when he arrived and taught himself English.[13] The family lived in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn. Vindman appears briefly with his maternal grandmother in the 1985 Ken Burns documentary The Statue of Liberty.[11][12]
In 1997, Vindman graduated from the State University of New York at Binghamton in Binghamton, New York, with a bachelor of arts degree in history.[14] He later received a master of science degree in general administration from Central Michigan University,[13] a juris doctor from the University of Georgia School of Law,[15] and a master of laws from the Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School.[13]
Military career
Vindman was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army after receiving his bachelor degree and he rose to the rank of colonel.[1] He served for 25 years as a paratrooper, infantryman, a Judge Advocate General’s Corps attorney,[13] and was deployed to Iraq.[16]
Vindman retired from the Army in 2022.[17] He retired at the rank of lieutenant colonel because he did not serve the full time required to retire as a colonel. Vindman’s campaign literature has referred to him as a “Retired U.S. Colonel” or “Army Colonel Retired”. After Vindman was questioned about the discrepancy, his campaign began to refer to him as a “former colonel”.[18] His military decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, six Meritorious Service Medals, a Joint Service Commendation Medal, three Army Commendation Medals, and three Army Achievement Medals.[13]
National Security Council
During the Trump administration in 2018, Vindman was assigned as a deputy legal adviser to the National Security Council (NSC), where he was the senior ethics official.[13] He was involved in reporting President Trump’s attempt to coerce Ukraine into investigating President Biden and he faced retaliation by that Trump administration for his actions.[19][3]
Trump telephone call to Zelensky
In the line of his duties on July 25, 2019, Alexander Vindman listened to a telephone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky and was concerned by the contents, saying that he “did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen”, and “was worried about the implications for the U.S. Government’s support of Ukraine“. Alexander believed that the call would “undermine U.S. national security“. Alexander immediately reported the call to Eugene Vindman, the lead ethics attorney and a deputy legal advisor, who recognized the serious legal ramification of the call, including violations of law, as well as the legal and political jeopardy President Trump faced. Eugene Vindman advised that they both further report the call through channels to the lead counsel of the NSC, John Eisenberg.[20]
Vindman had two more conversations with Eisenberg about the July 25, 2019, telephone call. The first follow-up conversation occurred on August 1, 2019. Vindman sought to clarify with Eisenberg their role and obligations as attorneys, and whether as attorneys they were duty-bound to represent the Office of the President of the United States or, the individual serving as President. Vindman had a second conversation with Eisenberg on August 5, 2019, when he conveyed his concern that President Trump’s request that President Zelensky investigate President Trump’s political rival may have violated the Federal Bribery Statute, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and federal election laws. Once knowledge of the call became public, both brothers received threats and denunciation and they reached out to the Army regarding the safety of their families.[21]
Trump’s first impeachment
Eugene helped his brother throughout President Trump’s first impeachment, which went from December 18, 2019, to February 5, 2020, including by drafting the portion of the opening statement where Alexander Vindman assured their father that he had made the right decision in emigrating from the Soviet Union to the United States.[22] Alexander stated, “In Russia, my act of … offering public testimony involving the President would surely cost me my life. I am grateful for my father’s brave act of hope 40 years ago and for the privilege of being an American citizen and public servant, where I can live free of fear for mine [sic] and my family’s safety. Dad, my sitting here today, in the U.S. Capitol talking to our elected officials is proof that you made the right decision forty years ago to leave the Soviet Union and come here to United States of America in search of a better life for our family. Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth.”
Trump alleged retaliation against Vindman
On February 10, 2020, then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) sent a letter in an apparent response to the firing of the two brothers that requested federal Inspectors General to investigate possible retaliation against “anyone who has made, or in the future makes, protected disclosures of presidential misconduct”.[23] On February 13, Trump’s former chief of staff, retired Marine General John Kelly, defended Vindman’s actions and testimony. “He did exactly what we teach them to do from cradle to grave. He went and told his boss what he just heard”, Kelly said.
During a panel discussion in February 2020, at the Atlantic Council, Trump’s National Security Advisor, Robert C. O’Brien said it was his decision to remove both Vindman brothers from the NSC staff and denied that the move was ordered by Trump in retaliation for Vindman’s testimony. O’Brien also disputed the removal from the NSC staff was a “firing” since both brothers remained active-duty Army officers. O’Brien said that their transfer was part of a larger NSA staff reduction. His remarks contradicted Trump, however, who tweeted that he had ousted Vindman for insubordination and for doing “a lot of bad things”.[24]
Vindman held the rank of colonel on active duty, but retired as a lieutenant colonel because he had not served the minimum requirement of three years service in grade in order to retain the rank in retirement.[25] In 2022, his supporters called on President Biden to allow Yevgeny to retire as a colonel.[26] Vindman commented that retiring at the rank of colonel would not affect his retirement compensation and would be merely “honorific”.[27] The Army declined to submit a request to adjust Vindman’s retirement status to President Joe Biden, telling the media that time-in-grade waivers were extremely rare, with “only three such waivers for Army officers since 1997”.[27] Vindman’s attorney, Mark Zaid, who is a founder of the nonprofit, Whistleblower Aid, that offers legal services to others such as Yevgeny, emphasized that the White House’s failure to address the request about Vindman’s retirement status might deter officials from speaking out about potential government wrongdoing in the future.[27]
Post-military career
Since 2022, Vindman has held the position of Director of Military Analysis and Prosecution Support for the Atrocity Crimes Advisory (ACA) group.[28] The ACA was formed by the European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom as an operational hub coordinating assistance to the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. This collaboration aims to investigate and prosecute those responsible for war crimes committed on Ukrainian soil.[28]
In March 2023, Eugene Vindman, together with his twin brother Alexander Vindman, initiated the Trident Support project. Its primary goal is to set up a weapon maintenance and training facility within Ukraine.[29] Within Trident Support, the Vindman brothers aim to enlist 100–200 adept Western contractors. These professionals will collaborate with Ukrainian forces close to the front lines, offering training on mending battle-affected equipment provided by Western countries.[29]
2024 U.S. House of Representatives campaign
In November 2023, Vindman announced that he would run for the United States House of Representatives in Virginia’s 7th District, where incumbent Democrat Abigail Spanberger was not seeking reelection.[30][31] Vindman received endorsements from Adam Schiff, former Under Secretary of the Army Patrick Murphy, and the editorial board of The Washington Post.[32][33]
Despite being a newcomer to politics, Vindman was able to fundraise based on his national profile and quickly became a frontrunner in the Democratic primary.[34] He raised $5 million and had $876,000 on hand as of May 29, 2024, in addition to a combined $1.3 million in independent expenditures from cryptocurrency advocacy group Protect Progress PAC and VoteVets.[35] In contrast, Vindman’s national profile and disconnect from local politics was being criticized regularly by local Democratic activists and elected officials.[33][36] In April 2024, Vindman also was criticized on social media after he was photographed alongside supporters in a now-deleted post to Twitter holding a flag used during Virginia’s Confederate period.[37][36][38]
On June 18, 2024, Vindman won the Democratic primary to face Republican Derrick Anderson in the general election.[5] On November 5, 2024, Vindman was elected to Congress.[39]
Personal life
Vindman is married to Cindy Vindman, née Groff. They have two children.[40]
