Team,
In 22 days, Republicans across the Fifth District will decide which
candidate will take on Tom Perriello in November. I am grateful to the
hundreds of volunteers that have been helping our campaign with making
thousands of phone calls, putting up signs, working events, and knocking
on doors. I've run five campaigns and I can tell you first hand that
the last few weeks are filled with hard work, but with your continued
hard work we will win this primary election on June 8, and we will be
fully prepared to hit the ground running and defeat Tom Perriello and
Nancy Pelosi in November.
This past week we took our campaign to Franklin County, Halifax County,
Prince Edward County, Charlottesville, Nelson County, and Danville. On
Tuesday afternoon, I was honored to attend the Military Officers of
America Luncheon at Smith Mountain Lake. Our veterans have served our
country honorably and they deserve to be treated as heroes. I was proud
to address these heroes and report to them about the recognition I
recently received from The PEW Center for my work in the Virginia
General Assembly this past session to ease the absentee voting process
for our soldiers and allow for more of our soldiers' votes to be counted
(click here if you missed it).
On Saturday we began the day at South Hill with the South Hill Ruritans
and then headed to the Chase City for a candidate forum. After the
forum we ended the day in Clarksville at a jazz festival at the
Occoneechee State Park where I had the honor of meeting legendary
musician Boo Hanks from Virginia over in Halifax County.
As we head into this next week, we must remember that this is the most
important election of our lifetime. If we don't stop the out-of-control
spending that is taking place in Washington right now, we may never be
able to get our country back on track. I'm in this fight because I
strongly believe that the future of our children and the future of our
Republic are at stake.
That is why we need your help now more than ever to be sure that the
strongest candidate wins this primary election on June 8. If you have
not already signed up, please contact us right away to see how you can
help (click here).
Thank you for all of your support.
