'19 Votes and Counting?' Duggar Family Goes on the Campaign Trail

The large family, well-known for their TLC reality TV show "19 Kids and Counting," is coming to the area to campaign for gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli.

As part of their recently-announced Virginia Values Bus Tour, the Duggar family, stars of the TLC reality TV show "19 Kids and Counting," are taking to the campaign trail to support Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli.

The oldest son, Josh Duggar, recently moved to the DC area to work with the Family Research Council, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has deemed a hate group for its anti-LGBT activism. The Duggars will be joining Josh as speakers at the Values Voters Summit in DC on Oct. 11-13.

The Duggars are Quiverfull, which means that they are pro-life and do not believe in using any form of birth control. In the past, Cuccinelli has supported "personhood legislation," though he insists that if he were elected governor, he would not limit access to contraception. As attorney general, Cuccinelli approved new abortion clinic regulations in Virginia.

The Duggars will be at Heritage Baptist Church at 14510 Spriggs Road in Woodbridge on Oct. 16 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Family Research Council's Connie Mackey will also be a featured speaker.
