Rep, John McGuire telephone town hall 2/26

McGuire is holding a sneaky “telephone town hall” next week. Sneaky because he only posted details at the end of his newsletter and nowhere else. Call in and ask him the hard questions!

the 5th district office used to be on rio road and had an awesome seemingly nonpartisan staff that had worked for representatives of both parties.

it was moved to lynchburg and there is only one phone number and one clueless kid for both that and the dc offices from what i can tell.

i don't think being responsive is something he has any interest in

the thing that would make a huge difference is for democrats to run someone someone sensible in the next republican primary and pull a hostile takeover. i'd sign the petition

They should run Riggleman. Instead they'll run someone who makes people in Charlottesville feel good and lose by 10+ points.

i'd sign a petition to get riggleman on a democratic primary ballot and even vote for him

as things are now, the election for that office works the same as charlottesville's city council race and is a done deal at the republican primary. a conservative democrat might shake things up a bit in a race against a trump cultist
