After coming to the United States to escape communism, Hung Cao's deep gratitude for America inspired him to join the military and defend us abroad as a Navy Captain.

He joined First Right's Hayden Ludwig, where he brought unique perspective to a variety of issues relevant to us all today. He shares the story of his family's escape from communism and comments on the dangers of the left's growing radicalism. He contrasts his campaign with incumbent Tim Kaine's radical record and explains how he will fight for freedom as a VA Senator. Want daily news without the liberal slant?
