On his Facebook page on Saturday, Candidate for Governor Republican Delegate Kirk Cox commented on the SCC vote for a Republican convention in 2021 and Senator Amanda Chase’s “antics”.
>>>Today the RPV State Central Committee decided to elect next year’s statewide nominees in a convention.
Earlier this week I told members of the State Central Committee that I was committed to pursuing the Republican Party nomination for Governor regardless of what nomination method was selected today. While I may have a personal preference on nomination methods, I do not think declared candidates should put their thumb on the scale.
Making that commitment was easy because I know I am the best candidate to bring our party together to win in 2021. I have a proven conservative track record, the willingness to fight back against unchecked one party Democratic control, a vision for how to lead forward, and the ability to win. Even as a conservative, I hold the bluest seat of any Republican in the General Assembly because I know how to bring people together.
Amanda Chase’s antics have long grown more than tiresome. Her threat to run as an independent is based solely on the fact that she knows principled, conservative Republicans will never tolerate the demagogue she has become. She could participate in this nomination contest, but instead she will fade from relevance as loyal Republicans continue to focus on putting our conservative principles to work solving the challenges people face daily in this Commonwealth under weak and misguided Democratic rule.<<<
