SPANBERGER: I always knew I wanted to join the CIA. My father was a public servant and a federal law enforcement officer, and he's hardworking and principled. I always wanted to be like my dad – always. I served in the CIA for eight years, mostly in counterterrorism. Our goal was to keep this country safe. It wasn't about partisan politics. I'm running for Congress because we Americans are in this together and if we really treat each other with respect and live up to our values, there's nothing we can't do. I'm Abigail Span Berger and I approve this message.
