Biography: Caleb was born and raised in Loudoun County, and grew up going to events all over the 10th district with his grandfather, Congressman Frank Wolf. From parades, fairs, and local markets, to knocking on doors and working the polls, Caleb has been active in 10th district politics for as long as he can remember. 

Caleb incorporated a commercial and residential landscape company in 2014 at the age of 17 after cutting his neighbor’s lawns since he was 13. Caleb grew this business from one mower to now having 6 crews with 15 employees and a 500 property client list.  Caleb has also experienced hardship when he bought Pica Deli in Reston, Virginia three months before the Covid pandemic. While growing the monthly gross receipts by 40 percent in his second and third months of ownership, the government forced the Deli’s closure. Caleb got a first-hand education in the government’s ineptitude in providing small business assistance, and while he was finally able to get some aid, the restrictions on its use, and its meager amount made it impossible to survive. 

Following in his Grandfather’s footsteps, Caleb became an advocate for human rights himself.  In January of 2020, Caleb started a nationwide non-profit called the Athenai Institute and in March of 2021 he helped start Stand Against Chinese Communism (SACC).  These two organizations are working to rid Chinese Communist Party Influence on college campuses across the country by removing Confucius Institutes from campuses and getting colleges to divest from China (the Washington Post just praised his efforts and credits Athenai with beginning the China divestment movement).  Caleb has a particular interest in fighting for the Uyghur Muslims — who are experiencing a genocide in the millions.

When Biden pulled the U.S. out of Afghanistan, Caleb joined with Afghan Youth Relief Foundation to help raise over 350 pallets of goods (kurons, clothes, hygiene kits) to deliver to refugees being resettled on military bases all around the country.  Caleb was recognized by the Virginia Muslim Association as a champion of the Afghan Refugees and Muslim Community.

Soon after purchasing the Pica Deli at the beginning of 2020, COVID hit and sent Caleb’s small business, like many others, into a downward spiral. He felt first-hand the government’s ineptitude in handling the crisis. This was another motivation for Caleb to run and ensure that the government gets out of the way of business owners and provides greater opportunity to innovate and create the high-paying jobs so many Americans are looking for. 

It’s time to take back the 10th district, and bring up the next generation. That’s why Caleb is running for Congress… for country, community, and common sense. (Source: https://www.maxforvirginia.com)

Why you? No information available.

What are your priorities?

Addressing Crime and Violence
Crime is out of control in our major cities. I am vehemently opposed to defunding the police. The reality is that when you defund the police, wealthy and safe neighborhoods do not simply become unprotected–the worse neighborhoods become unlivable. Additionally, defunding the police will lead to skyrocketing trafficking across our country. I believe when we talk about police violence and mistakes, we tend to focus on training and officer safety. Somehow, we need to invest in technology that better allows officers to make traffic stops, protect themselves, and most importantly keep the people they serve protected.

Bolstering National Security
Biden’s foreign policy has been a disaster. The Middle East is collapsing due to the U.S.’ withdrawal from Afghanistan and the failed Iran Deal. Russia has violated the sovereignty of Ukraine. China is steps away from attacking Taiwan. All of this is crumbling our National Security standing in the world. If the U.S. does not lead on the world stage, then bad actors will. This is not to say we get involved in needless or endless wars, but when we do get involved it must be quick, decisive, and accomplish a clear mission that protects the homeland. (Source: https://www.maxforvirginia.com/issues)

Combatting National Debt
I believe that the greatest threat facing my generation is the national debt and rampant government spending. If we continue on our current path, our national debt will reach almost 80 trillion by 2030 when entitlements and social security are taken into the equation. Today, at birth, every child inherits a $68,000 share of the debt. We have not balanced the budget since 1999, and if we do not do so in the near future, will witness the collapse of our economy. (Source: https://www.maxforvirginia.com/issues)

Protecting Small Businesses
The best way to improve the job market is to allow rapid growth of companies. This would mean keeping the Trump Tax Cuts in place, letting our businesses and economy open up 100%, and encouraging small businesses to get back to work. The tax burden placed on our businesses is outrageous and the democrats want to increase it. (Source: https://www.maxforvirginia.com/issues)

Reforming Education
Parents are the first and most important teachers children will ever have. Education policy needs to honor and support this truth. Parents need to have a say in what their children are taught (and aren’t taught). As such, education funding needs to follow students, and as much as possible, be in the control of parents. The Department of Education has become both bloated and radicalized. I am a proponent of school choice since it adds free market competition to the school system that encourages the schools to better serve their students.

Standing For Life
Life begins at conception. I am unequivocally pro-life; I will be a CHAMPION for the lives of the born and the unborn. This is an issue that defines who I am – I will never back down from advocating for the life of the unborn. We need to support these mothers and families and ensure that every baby has the right to LIFE.
