Can a doctor bring a new perspective to Washington?

On this episode of The Arrington Gavin Show, Arrington sits down with Dr. Nila Devanath, a physician, Harvard-trained lawyer, and Democratic candidate running for Congress in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.

Dr. Devanath has spent her career on the frontlines of healthcare — treating patients, caring for veterans and families, and seeing firsthand how policy decisions in Washington impact everyday people. Now she’s taking that experience from the ER to the campaign trail.

In this conversation we discuss:

• Why she decided to run for Congress

• The biggest healthcare challenges facing Hampton Roads

• The rising cost of living and economic pressures on families

• Veterans' healthcare and military family support in VA-02

• What she believes Washington is getting wrong

• How her background as a doctor AND lawyer shapes her approach to leadership

Arrington also asks the tough questions about politics, policy, and what voters in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and the Eastern Shore should expect from this race.

🎙 Fun! Informative! Opinionated!

That’s The Arrington Gavin Show.
