    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., presides over a hearing in June. Goodlatte's son, Bobby, has publicly criticized his father and urged his followers to donate to a Democrat running for his father's seat.

    Bobby Goodlatte took to Twitter on Sunday to promote the congressional campaign of Jennifer Lewis, a Democrat running for Congress in Virginia's 6th Congressional District. Lewis is running on a platform that includes a $15 minimum wage, stricter gun control measures and tuition-free college.

    And she is running to fill the seat held by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. — Bobby's father.

    "I just gave the maximum allowed donation to Jennifer Lewis, a democrat running for my father's congressional seat," the younger Goodlatte. "I've also gotten 5 other folks to commit to donate the max. 2018 is the year to flip districts — let's do this!"
