| Introduction | James received an honorable discharge for his service in 2005 and joined the private work force as an efficiency expert finding ways to cut costs while trying to improve the physical conditions of personnel in the workplace. This is an occupation in which he is currently employed by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), on behalf of the Department of Defense. Because of his professional experience, he knows the negative impact that government waste has on the workers and the United States citizens. When he is elected to Congress he will fight against wasteful spending. |
| Interests | James Joseph Quigley was born on 1976 in Brooklyn, New York. He has been a Virginia resident since 1986, when his family moved to Midlothian, Virginia. His parents, David Edward Quigley and Ivette Delgado Quigley, both retired from the United States Postal Service of Richmond, Virginia. In 1994 he graduated from Clover Hill High School and was selected to attend the United States Air Force Academy by then 3rd District Congressman Thomas Bliley. After graduation from the academy, James was commissioned and performed tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. During Operation Enduring Freedom, he served as a surveillance officer on the E-8C JSTARS and flew twenty combat missions over Afghanistan, earning the Air Medal and an Aerial Achievement Medal. Later, he was assigned to a ground radar unit in Germany where he refined his leadership and planning skills before being deployed to Balad Air Base in Iraq as a participant of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his stay in Balad Air Base, he became accustomed to working under pressure as he was subjected to multiple mortar attacks on a daily basis; one such attack ripped shrapnel through the canvas tent in which he worked and embedded itself in the operation flight’s briefing board while another piece of shrapnel wounded a nearby squadron-mate. |
| Favorite Movies | James resides in Hampton with his fiancée Nicole, with his daughter Makenna and their infant baby son Thomas. He also has a young daughter, Emeline from a previous marriage that currently resides overseas. As a single income household, he understands the tough times that many families face today with the country's unstable economy and high unemployment rate. He is ready to fight in Congress to turn the country around. |
| Favorite Music | James decided to get involved in politics on October of 2008, when the Bush administration successfully bailed out the failed banks by pushing Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). He started his involvement by attending City Council meetings and taking time to speak on behalf of various citizens. His ability to speak publicly and motivate the crowd proved useful as he was elected as Chairman of the Hampton Roads Peninsula Libertarian Party. He has strong moral beliefs and plans on sticking to his guns on the tough issues that need to be resolved. James’ proven record as a decorated veteran and private middle class citizen will prove vital to return the wealth to the people. |
