| We know it's not necessarily a badge of honor to be endorsed by the Washington Post, but their take on the race for the Republican nomination is spot on. In case you missed it this morning, the Washington Post endorsement editorial says: In the Republican race, the most sensible and, by a country mile, the most principled of the three candidates is state Sen. Frank Wagner…. As for the Republicans, the choice for us is simpler. Mr. Wagner is in some ways a GOP version of Mr. Northam — down-to-earth, substantive, principled and well-versed in policy and the ways of Richmond. By contrast, the putative front-runner, Ed Gillespie, a former Republican national chair and George W. Bush White House veteran who has dodged debates, is more opportunistic, proposing a pie-in-the-sky tax cut that disintegrates upon contact with reality. As for the third candidate, Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey A. Stewart, his candidacy has been a romp through the fetid fields of intolerance and Confederacy nostalgia. The Post is right: Frank Wagner is the only experienced, principled candidate. He's also the only military veteran. And, yes!, Ed Gillespie has been dodging debates since Easter. He is taking you for granted and his claims about his reckless tax plan have proven to be a lie. Our shared goal for this November's race for Governor is to win! Virginia Republicans haven't won a statewide race this decade! Senator Frank Wagner has won 10 elections in swing districts. Ed Gillespie, in the best year for Republicans in 20 years, lost his election in 2014. The governor we elect in November will be the deciding factor for congressional and legislative redistricting for the next decade. There is so much at stake in November, let's nominate a proven winner who can win in November. On Tuesday, June 13th, vote for the Republican candidate for Governor who has proven he can win tough elections. Vote for Senator Frank Wagner. |
