Randy Forbes = the leader we need




Friend –

I've had the privilege of knowing Randy Forbes for many years – both as a friend, mentor, and a fellow public servant. I admire his passion for public service and his commitment to being "the people's representative." As home to one of the country's most diverse population regions, I know Hampton Roads and the 2nd Congressional District would be well-represented by my friend Congressman Forbes. 

Randy's top priorities are protecting national security and serving those who have served this nation. As Chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee and a Senior Member on the House Armed Services Committee, we need Randy to help protect our region's job and industrial base, as well as to ensure we have a capable and ready military to protect our nation now and in the future.

Randy is also a leading supporter of the U.S.-Philippine alliance and the welfare of Filipino-Americans here in the United States and in Hampton Roads, where we have one of the largest concentrations of Filipino-Americans residing here. In recognition of their dedicated service to this country, Randy recently cosponsored a bill to recognize the Filipino Veterans of World War II, and he supports keeping our commitments to all who have served our country. Randy has also worked with me in developing stronger trade between the U.S. and the Philippines in imports and exports and he is working to promote our Port of Virginia. Randy has introduced the Visa Integrity and Security Act that will bring back integrity in the immigration process and help bring properly screened immigrants to the United States to be reunited with their loved ones. I'm also pleased that a majority of our most distinguished Filipino-American leaders and organizations have endorsed Randy Forbes.

There's a reason why: he's the leader our region needs. His experience, seniority, and vision for Hampton Roads' future makes him the best equipped to serve our community and lead us forward -- I urge you to join me in supporting his election on June 14th.

Yours in service,

Ron

Delegate Ron Villanueva
21st District, Virginia House of Delegates and
Chairman of the House Transportation Committee

people are talking...



Friend –

People across the Second District are talking about Randy, and why he's hands down the best choice for Virginia's Second District. Here's what they are saying:

"He is the strongest defender the Second District could possibly have for our military, our family values, and our religious freedoms." -- Harvey Bryant, Former Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney

"I spent my career in our Navy's Special Warfare community, and I know the importance of being able to trust that someone has your back. Randy Forbes has always had the backs of our warriors and their families, and I know he always will." -- RDML Thomas Richards, former head of the Navy SEALS

"Randy Forbes is a powerful voice on behalf of all Virginians. We need him in Congress now more than ever." -- B. Rod Rodriguez, CEO Bay Mechanical, Inc.

"Hampton Roads is fortunate to have such a tireless advocate working on our behalf. I'm proud to support Congressman Randy Forbes' re-election." -- Matt Mulherin

"On June 14th, the choice is clear: our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines need Randy Forbes in Congress, and he needs your vote." -- MC (SEAL/EOD) Kenneth J. Stethem, USN (Ret.), former member of SEAL Teams FOUR, SIX, and EIGHT

I'm proud to join in endorsing Randy's campaign in the Second District -- along with the majority of the Virginia Beach Republican Delegation in the General Assembly. I strongly urge you to join me in supporting and voting for Congressman Randy Forbes. I am convinced we could have no stronger advocate for our national security, our military, or our conservative values. But there are less than 3 weeks left before the election on June 14th – so we need to act now. Join Team Forbes today.

Yours in service,

Barry

Delegate Barry Knight
Member (81st District)
Virginia House of Delegates

PRESS RELEASE: Forbes Demonstrates Effectiveness, Knowledge, Wins Va Beach Chamber Debate




Forbes Demonstrates Effectiveness, Knowledge
Wins Virginia Beach Chamber Debate

Date: May 20, 2016
Contact: Hailey Sadler, Communications Director, (757) 692-2108

Virginia Beach, VA -- Today, Congressman Forbes' demonstrated his effectiveness, experience, and superior depth of knowledge on national defense issues, clearly coming out on top in the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce's Congressional debate. 

"Hampton Roads doesn't just rely on a strong military -- a strong military relies on Hampton Roads," said Congressman Forbes. "Our region -- our home -- represents the intellectual and industrial front-lines of the national security of this country. It's here that we rebuild the Navy and equip those who fight to keep us safe with the resources they need to come home safe.

Ultimately the question is this: If your job is on the line, who do you want fighting for your job? If the bottom line of your business is on the line, who do you want fighting for that bottom line? And if your sons and daughters are across the globe and they need resources to make sure they can keep us safe and come back safe themselves, who do you want fighting for them?

I believe in protecting and defending this nation. I believe in growing and sustaining the region I call home. That's why I am running for office, and that's why I'm asking for your vote on June 14."

Throughout the course of the debate, Congressman Forbes laid out a vision of fresh ideas for Hampton Road's future as the country's epicenter for national defense. This includes:
  • Authorizing the highest levels of shipbuilding funding since the Reagan era
  • Rebuilding the Navy to the 350 ships our national defense needs
  • Seizing on America's "new Sputnik moment" with hypersonics at NASA Langley
  • Expanding space and military missions at Wallops Island
  • Lighting up the ports with his 414 plan to accelerate the construction of roads and bridges
  • Supporting further innovation and discovery at Jefferson Labs in Newport News
  • Promoting Modeling and Simulation and partnering with community colleges for increased technical workforce training
Among those attending the debate in support of Congressman Forbes were multiple Gold Star families, including:
  • Carl and Jean Dozier, the parents of SSG Jonathan Dozier, United States Army Infantry, who was killed in action on January 9, 2008 in Iraq
  • Randy and Wendy Childers, the parents of LCPL Cody Childers, United States Marine Corps, who was killed in action on August 20, 2010 in Afghanistan 
  • Mark and Nancy Stets, the parents of SSG Mark Stets, Jr. United States Army, who was killed in action on February 3, 2010 in Pakistan
  • Brady Snyder, the son of LT Sean Christopher Snyder, United States Navy, who was killed in a helicopter accident off the coast of Virginia Beach on January 8, 2014
Congressman Forbes has received the endorsement of some of America's top retired Navy SEAL Commanders, who collectively led 7 SEAL teams, as well as 7 Secretaries of the Navy, over 50 retired military officers, 120 top business leaders from some of the region's most established employers, and over 40 elected and conservative leaders from across the Second District. His supporters include the majority of the Virginia Beach Republican Delegation in the General Assembly. Both Congressman Scott Rigell, (VA02), and Congressman Rob Wittman, (VA01), have endorsed Randy Forbes.

Update from the Forbes for Congress Campaign



Friend –- 

I wanted to give you a brief update on where things stand as we head into the last three weeks of this primary election.

First, we are in a strong position to capture the GOP nomination on June 14th. The campaign has been working tirelessly to ensure that all the signs, 4x8's, phone calls, and literature are getting out the door and in the hands of voters. Recently, the Forbes campaign launched its first TV ad, which clearly defines what this nomination -- and election -- is all about: who is best positioned to stand against President Obama and his dismantling of our military and defeat ISIS? CLICK HERE to watch the ad.

Just this week, we launched our first radio ad, which features a former head of the Navy SEALs talking about why Randy Forbes is the leader our Armed Forces need. CLICK HERE to listen.

On top of running an aggressive grassroots campaign district-wide -- Randy has also been busy promoting and ensuring that Hampton Roads maintains its unique place in the national defense of our nation and its role in developing and combating the newest threats on the horizon. The Daily Press, The Virginian-Pilot, WAVY, and WVEC recently featured his work.

All Politics is Comparative

As we head into the final weeks of the nomination, the campaign here in the 2nd district will no doubt heat up. The rhetoric that comes from Scott Taylor is only going to continue to become more shrill (as if it couldn't be any more) and I wanted to lay out a few points to consider the next time you hear Taylor lob another personal attack on Randy Forbes.

Point 1 - Polling 

In a survey his campaign released in February -- with lots of fanfare -- Scott Taylor pronounced the race a "tie" (our own internal polling had Randy up double digits). Then in the past few weeks, Taylor released another survey, conducted by the same pollster, showing Taylor losing by 4 points. Folks, that's not a trajectory a campaign wants to be on heading into the final weeks of campaign.

Point 2 - Financial Support

In his most recent campaign finance report, the Taylor campaign showed a lack of support from within the district in the important area of campaign resources. Posting a measly $53,000 (of which 10K came from a personal loan) cash on hand compared to nearly $900,000 cash on hand from the Forbes campaign. It's not always about the money, but people who contribute who live within the district also contribute with their VOTES

Point 3 - Grassroots

Nothing is more illustrative of the differences between the campaigns than in the area of grassroots. With over 200 committed volunteers, we submitted 5,000 signed petitions -- more than Scott Taylor and Pat Caldwell submitted COMBINED. We have over 200 4x8's in every locality in the District (and growing) and thousands of individual signs across the District -- not to mention an impressive showing of dedicated volunteers at each of our neighborhood walks, call nights, and community events. The energy and momentum is palpable. 

Point 4 - Endorsements

It says a lot that while our opponent can count the number endorsements he has received on one hand, Randy has received the endorsement of some of America's top retired Navy SEAL Commanders, who collectively led 7 SEAL teams, as well as 7 Former Secretaries of the Navy, over 50 retired military officers, and over 200 business, community, conservative, and elected leaders from across the Second District. Not to mention the majority of the Virginia Beach Republican Delegation to the General Assembly has backed Randy. These endorsements speak to how much people respect Randy and trust him to effectively represent them in Congress. Read the full list HERE.

Point 5 - Debates


We have one confirmed debate at the Chamber of Commerce this week. We had hoped to coordinate two other debates hosted by party leaders -- but on both occasions Scott Taylor attacked the proposed debate moderators and scuttled plans – despite our efforts. See a pattern developing here? We at the Forbes campaign certainly do.

Point 6 - Message

Ask yourself one question. "What has Scott Taylor said during this entire campaign that he would do if he were my Congressman?" I think you would be hard pressed to find one concrete proposal where Taylor has said anything -- be it in the mail, on the radio, or robo calls -- that isn't just a personal attack on Randy Forbes. Contrast that with the message that has consistently come from Randy Forbes. A consistent conservative whose top priority is defeating the enemies of the United States and ensuring that Hampton Roads maintains its position as not only the home of the greatest Navy in world, but that its men and women in uniform are equipped and trained to not only excel, but come home.

The choice couldn't be more clear.

As we head into "crunch time" and the frequency of the Taylor campaign's attack robo-calls heat up – keep these points in mind and all of your questions will be answered. On to victory on June 14th!

Thanks for your time,

Chris
