Forbes reports:
A government contractor and lobbyist who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration bought Vice President JD Vance’s Virginia home in an above-market deal, a sale his spokesperson says was based on the market. A company registered in Nevada named 9 EDR LLC, with Christopher Garcia listed as its managing member, purchased Vance’s home in Alexandria, Virginia on March 14 for $1.9 million—about $170,000 over the asking price, according to government records and real estate listings.
Garcia served as a political appointee in Trump’s Commerce Department from 2017 to 2018—The Washington Post reported at the time that he left after being denied a permanent security clearance, a report a spokesperson for Garcia told Forbes was “categorically false. Garcia is now the CEO of Health Supply US, which has received $179 million in government contracts, primarily from the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security for personal protective equipment.

💰 he’s CEO of Health Supply US, which has received $179 million in USG contracts
💰 he’s a consultant for the Livingston Group, a lobbying shop
