Special Election in VA-1
by midas
I think I am probably the only person that reads this site that this applies too, but there is a special election coming up on December 11th, for VA-1, US Congress. This includes the Fredericksburg area, through the Northern Neck, and on down to Williamsburg and environs. Our Representative, Jo Ann Davis (R), died, kind of unexpectedly, of breast cancer a few months ago. This is the election to replace her.
There are three people running, a Republican, a Democrat, and an Independent. Here are their websites:
Rob Wittman (R)
Philip Forgit (D)
Lucky Narain (I)
It tends to be pretty conservative here in the 1st District, and most of the competition to Rep. Davis (who had something like a 97% conservative rating) tended to be people who felt she wasn’t conservative enough. Apparently though, there’s at least some money being sunk into the race.
I haven’t seen any road signs or mailings yet, though.
