Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) talks with inmates at the Chesterfield County jail in Chesterfield, Va., on Oct. 17. “You think you’re having a hard time — I got $5 million worth of negative ads going at me,” Brat told inmates at the Chesterfield County jail on Wednesday. He met with about 100 inmates at the jail Wednesday to hear about their challenges of recovery and life after incarceration. While his comments drew some criticism outside the jail, the inmates seemed to appreciate his visit. She raised nearly $3.6 million over the past three months — a record quarter in the Virginia 7th and more than the $2.8 million Brat raised for his last two campaigns combined.
