Notable personal detailsAnthony A. "Tony" Sabio is a Republican candidate for U.S. House in Virginia's 8th Congressional District in the 2026 cycle. He previously ran for the Fairfax County School Board (Providence District) in 2023. He has been described as a Navy veteran with experience in the U.S. Secret Service and the Central Intelligence Agency, and has worked in security in the private sector.
Supports tax relief and targeted tax credits for small businesses, expansion and simplification of business deductions (including Qualified Business Income), immediate expensing, and payroll tax credits tied to hiring and apprenticeships; favors regulatory reform and federal incentives to spur private-sector job creation and local economic growth. Proposes temporary tax relief and credits to protect small businesses during government shutdowns and incentives for housing and workforce retention in the district.
Supports market-based reforms to increase competition and choice (interstate sales, expanded HSAs, direct primary care) while preserving protections for preexisting conditions and providing time-limited, state-administered safety nets via block-grants rather than a federal single-payer system.
Tony Sabio’s campaign platform emphasizes securing the border, enforcing immigration laws, and modernizing legal immigration while also expressing support for immigration reform measures and criticizing certain enforcement practices. Public statements combine enforcement-focused language with references to reform-oriented proposals, producing mixed signals on whether his approach is primarily enforcement-first or reform/humanitarian-focused.
Emphasizes lowering energy costs, American energy independence, and market-friendly policies under a conservative framework; prioritizes affordability and jobs in energy policy. Positions are framed as part of a broader "Energy Affordability & American Power" agenda.
Virginia Republicans publicly listed Tony Sabio among their 2026 U.S. House candidates on May 28, reinforcing that he remains the main Republican name in VA-08. That keeps the nomination market anchored near Sabio’s extreme favorite pricing and makes the race’s already lopsided Republican primary look even more settled.
Sabio’s market rose from 0.69 a day ago to 0.93 today, putting him far ahead of Heerak Christian Kim at 0.02. That kind of move can matter for traders because it materially changes the implied nominee path even though current public reporting is still thin and no clear VA-08-specific catalyst has surfaced.
