Morgan Griffith has just posted his website in his run for the Republican nomination for Congress for the 9th District. His opponent, Rick Boucher, is a liberal democrat who has been in office too long.
Boucher district is coal country, yet Boucher voted YES for the Cap and Tax bill, to kill jobs in the coal industry and kill Norfolk Southern jobs locally.
No, it was a convention with carefully chosen delegates. The Virginia GOP does not do primaries.
BTW, seeing this is an old thread, Griffith won yesterday at the GOP convention.
I disagree. The other guys were unknown lightweights with no campaign wins and no money....and no hope of getting more money.
Griffith has experience, has won many elections and is the majority leader of the VA House of Delegates...and he can raise money.
He is the ONLY candidate than can beat Boucher and his $2M war chest.
Since I have deep roots in the 9th District and know its people well (being one of them), I can tell you up front that he's DOA.
