RICHMOND — State Sen. Amanda Chase, a Trump-style Republican at odds with both parties in Richmond, announced on Monday that she will run for governor next year as a Republican — and failing that, as an independent. “I can’t take it anymore,” Chase (Chesterfield), said referring to “the liberal, socialistic agenda that has taken control of the Capitol.”

“I can’t take it anymore,” Chase (Chesterfield), said referring to “the liberal, socialistic agenda that has taken control of the Capitol.”
Not familiar with her but she’s certainly right about that.
I’m starting work on my yard sign right now.
She spoke at the gun rally on January 20, she’s the real deal.
Good for her.
Chesterfield, a sanctuary county, SUCS. Te for a change, or a move.
She has no chance.
Not with vote-rich NOVA. They’ll elect another Democrat.
Like I said, time to move out after 30 years. Oh well.
also factor in GOPE RINOS who hobble VA conservatives ( Cuccinelli and others) at every turn. They would rather reach across the aisle and work to screw over their constituents with democrat loons
She does have a chance, the gun issue has split the Democrats and they will cross over.
If she loses the primary, she should drop out. Hopefully VA has a sore loser law. I’m sorry, but running as an independent if you can’t win the primary only throws the election to the Communist. Every time. Especially in VA.
Her bio sounds pretty good.
I agree - we’ll know more in November, if Trump can move the needle back to Red.
The 4 Democrat Senators who sided with the GOP is telling. Even gloating Surovell voted against it because a sizable number of those that voted him have promised to kick his ass out. He badly miscalculated and others have as well.
There’s a lot of history here in VA, starting with Col Ollie North in ‘94 - when he WON the GOP Senate nomination, the GOPe ran a third party candidate to ensure he would lose in the general election - I still haven’t gotten over that
She was on Fox & Friends this morning talking about gun rights. She said she was to make an announcement today and this must be what she was referring to (governor). I don’t know anything about her other than she is pro-2nd Amendment.
I’m no expert in Virginia politics, though my heart aches for the Old Dominion. I’ll offer the following from my experience in California: a lot of the blame for what has happened to us but the roots go back further and really t going with the hippie culture of the 60ms: Leftism is like a rust that eats away day and night. Starting in the late 60s they started capturing local offices, especially school boards. The politics changes behind the scenes steadily. This even while Reagan carried California twice, and we elected Wilson and Deukmejian a total of 16 years as governor, and a number of statewide offices. We even captured the Assembly once in the 90s thiough Willie Brown paid off a GOP traitor and got re-elected Speaker.
In the 80s even major counties such as Santa Clara were still Republican, not to mention Orange and San Diego counties. Then all of a sudden those decades of steady infiltration plus immigration paid off, and the rats ran more and more elections. Then they put in measures to lock in their controls, such as the leftist educational curriculum and jungle primary.
I could go on and on; this is only a quick overview.
My point is I don’t the groundwork hasn’t been done long enough or deep enough in Virginia ... yet. I think there’s still time to reverse course. Maybe not permanently, maybe a final blaze of freedom,
But I think it can be done in virginia
It depends....if Fairfax tries to run, many Dem ladies as well as Pubbies might just vote for the lady no matter the party.
What type of sanctuary? I hear we voted gun sanctuary. As for immigrant sanctuary, there is cooperation with ICE by the policing bodies though they don’t recognize “detainers” only court orders to keep an illegal longer than his local sentence. They do tell ICE when the person is being released however.
I live here, Chesterfield doesn’t suck.
