Service is the defining constant of Sam Wong’s life. As a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and an American-born son of Chinese and Peruvian heritage, Sam’s story is built on hard work, a global perspective, and an unwavering commitment to this country.
For nearly 30 years, Sam served our country on the front lines of our nation’s most critical challenges. He led American troops through combat zones in the Middle East and served as a senior intelligence officer advising U.S. Embassies on strategic threats from China and Russia.

Now, Sam is on a new mission: making Virginia affordable again. He believes national security starts with the financial security of our families. Sam is running for Congress to tackle the cost of living crisis hitting our community from skyrocketing gas and grocery prices to the rising costs of housing and healthcare.
Sam is not a career politician and is ready to end the era of failed leadership and restore accountability to a government that has forgotten the working families of Virginia. He will lead with the same integrity he brought to his uniform: Mission First. People Always.
