Topline 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.

Key Facts
• 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.

• Garcia is also a consultant for the Livingston Group, a government relations firm, where he helps “clients in navigating complex domestic and international business and policy arenas,” although Senate records show he has not registered as a lobbyist since 2021.

• A spokesperson for Garcia told Forbes that the purchase was an arm’s-length transaction and the offer was based solely on market factors, adding that Garcia has no relationship with the seller and there was never any direct communication between the two.

• A spokesperson for Vance did not respond to a request for comment.
