Jimmy Anderson is a veteran, public servant, and proud Montgomery County resident raising his family in District 20. Raised by a mom who worked two jobs for all of his childhood and a blue-collar dad, Jimmy learned early how much strong communities and real opportunity matter.

​

Inspired by his grandfather’s service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, he grew up believing that service and opportunity can change lives. That belief continues to guide him today. Jimmy joined the Air Force after high school, later deploying to Afghanistan, and went on to become a Fulbright Scholar to Canada. He has served for 17 years in uniform and continues to serve in the Air Force Reserve.

 

After his active-duty service, Jimmy worked in government and the private sector to improve how institutions serve the public. He was a political appointee in the White House and the Department of Veterans Affairs under President Biden, helping expand support for veterans, families, and the military community. In the private sector, he led efforts to strengthen government services, healthcare systems, and workforce development through technology.

 

Jimmy lives in Silver Spring with his wife and children. He is running to bring people together, strengthen communities, and ensure every neighbor has a voice and a fair shot at opportunity.
