(I wrote most of this post back in February. With the election for the House of Delegates in two weeks, it’s worth another read. Update on the bottom.)
Loudoun Delegates Dave LaRock and Randy Minchew are facing challengers from the Pink Pussy Hat brigade. Both of their challengers belong to the group Indivisible, a group opposing Trump. In fact, they announced their candidacies at an Indivisible group meeting in Clarke County.
LaRock’s opponent in the 33rd House district is Round Hill Resident and sheep farmer, Tia Walbridge. During the recent Presidential campaign, Walbridge was the founder of nonsensical sounding “Together We Will Loudoun”. Who knew Loudoun was a verb?
She and Minchew’s opponent both attended the Women’s March on Washington and it helped to inspire them to run for office. LaRock’s opponent at the March with a quote about it:

In case you can’t read her quote, Walbridge’s said:
The march was the most inspiring experience I’ve ever had, so many people reaching out in such a positive way, exercising their civil libertieres and making a united group effort to retake the moral center of our nation. I am so honored to have been apart of it.
Where has she been for the last 50 years? The Democrat party has destroyed the morals of our country! They have ruined our schools, killed millions of babies in the womb, taken God out of our schools and public buildings and encouraged and promoted all manner of deviant behavior. The Democrats have destroyed the moral fiber of our country!
The 33rd district covers Western Loudoun and parts of Clarke and Frederick counties. Walbridge will focus on the usual liberal issues, public schools and ‘equality’. In 2013 she bought a small sheep farm in Round Hill making her a supporter of the rural economy. From the Loudoun Times:
“I believe that all people are created equal and should be free to pursue their version of happiness and achieve an American dream that is uniquely their own,” Walbridge said in a statement. “Your version of the American dream may be a beautiful home in the heart of Purcellville. Or perhaps it is teaching your children at home and living a life close to the earth. Whatever your piece of the American tapestry looks like, I will fight passionately to support it, I will work tirelessly to improve our laws, regulations, and codes to help you and your businesses.”
Right. When did a democrat politician ever take away any regulations on businesses? She will only add more burdens to our farmers and businesses.
Walbridge finds LaRock’s bill to make educational vouchers available for special needs students “disturbing”. Walbridge supports only public education for all students, regardless of their needs. One size fits all. Educrats and teachers’ unions will love her because they always care more about themselves than the needs of students.
In 2013 LaRock won his race for Delegate by 23%. I suspect this year will be the same.
In the 10th district of the House of Delegates Wendy Gooditis of Clarke county is challenging Delegate Randy Minchew. The 10th district includes parts of Loudoun, Clarke, and Frederick counties. After the election of President Trump Gooditis said:
“I had been asleep,” she said. “I had been trusting that everything would work out OK. I’m awake now.”
She hasn’t fully awakened yet. Gooditis was inspired to run when she and her friends attended the Women’s March on Washington on January 21st. Here she is with her friends in their Pink Pussy hats, she is in the middle with the purple scarf:
Photo from Wendy’s Facebook page. Aren’t they just precious? Bless their hearts.
Delegate Minchew won his last election in 2015 by 25%. I suspect he will again.
More on Wendy here.
UPDATE: At a recent debate Tia Walbridge was asked about Metro since it does nothing for the 33rd district and yet we’re all paying for it. Her idea was to have the state build a bike path to Western Loudoun from the Ashburn Metro. She went on to explain how that would increase tourism in the 33rd district. Metro riders could take their bikes onto the metro in DC, ride the 90 minutes to the end of the Silver Line, and then bike over 20 miles to Western Loudoun to enjoy our wineries, breweries, and shops. The Metro will increase tourism to Western Loudoun! Brilliant idea! After enjoying our wine those tourists can bike back over 20 miles to the Metro! What could possibly go wrong with this idea? We’re good drivers in Western Loudoun with much experience dodging deer. I’m sure we can learn to dodge drunken bicyclists too. Anything to increase tourism and find reasons to ride the Silver Line.
At the same debate, Ms. Gooditis told us she is ‘really, really, nice’. I’m sure she is, but there is no one nicer than her opponent, Randy Minchew, who is much smarter and much more experienced than Gooditis. Minchew works hard for his constituents as their Representative. He’ll never let them down.
The 33rd district and the 10th district deserve REAL representatives in Richmond and not these two, clueless, women who seem very nice but are not ready for prime time or the House of Delegates.

How’s Randy Minchew doing? lol
Jeanine, are you aware of the near-pornographic ad at the bottom of this page? See if you can get it removed.
‘minchew’ is curiously similar sonically to ‘minge’ …. good ol’ British blabber for ‘pussy’
so, we might pun along with
‘mangy minchew mangled his manhood in the admonishing ministrations of the pussy … pussy … pussy … PUSSY … A chew (sneeze)!’
These two R’s wanting to retain their job, the people’s seat appear worried.
So What!
Maybe they will know what it is like to lose their job. It is a similar feeling many Virginians have felt over the past decade plus to illegal immigration. Yes illegal immigration is a Federal issue but illegally employed in Va. is a Virginia issue.
Have these two complicit Republicans fostered legislation to enforce Va laws or just placed blame on another?
To the winners go the spoils of Labor Exploitation.
Check out the nine or so bills that LaRock wrote/co-sponsored, which were passed…then vetoed by McAuliffe. There may be something about illegals in the mix.
1) Bills about or against illegal immigrants are half hearted when we do not use our existing laws to stop them from working illegally.
2) When the Va Employment Commission audits Licensed Contractors snow see a 1099 issued to an unlicensed contractor but then the next action by the VEC is to classify them as “bona-fide independent contractors” this is clearly Administrative Deregulation of Statute
54.1-1100 and it’s prohibited acts section of said law.
At the point of some if these individuals are illegal immigrants this is Santurary.
Please refer to JLARC 427 and the estimated 25 million dollar loss annually to Va’s general fund.
and educate me on The knowledgeable Delegates thoughts on ending this.
Also refer to this story;
http://watchdog.org/202012/subcontractors-shadow-economy
Wow, 200 violations issued and not one investegation by DPOR of The Department of Commerce and DPOR ran a 2.9 Million Dollar Surplus the same year.
What will the Honorable Delegate do to stop illegal contracting? Until this General Assembly does something employ all the illegals you desire just issue them a 1099 and stay away from the W2/W4 wage system.
No need to dispute this I hold some of these violations.
Your link goes to a page that reads, “File Not Found”.
Please excuse me,
Watchdog sometimes errors.

Gooditiis…sounds like a medical condition.
LOL, I had to look twice at that name.
Thought it said something different 😉
Not that I give two craps about the pussy hat brigade but there you are again attempting claim that mythical moral high ground again.
Laughable really, supposedly grown ass adults more concerned w a letter behind a name than substance associated w that name.
I know, I know, “but at least it ain’t Hillary”. How about they all suck and supporting this garbage instead of demanding better from your chosen representatives doesn’t give any standing on higher ground.
The pink hat crowd present a good argument for repeal of the 19th amendment (sorry Jeanine).
LOL, no worries.
These women attended the same “pussy hat march” that was led by a known terrorist-supporting Jew-hater, a terrorist who subsequently got deported, someone who tortured and murdered a gay man, and “celebrities” who openly advocated for violence. Of course, given everything we know about Bill Clinton, these people would still vote to re-elect him if Constitutionally permitted.
Great way to build that just and fair society! See you at the re-education camp. . .
[…] We previously reported on this race here. […]
[…] Former investment banker Democrat Mavis Taintor will challenge Delegate Dave LaRock in the 33rd district of the House of Delegates. Taintor lives in Waterford on a large horse farm. She is the second democrat to file for the seat, the first being Tia Walbridge, a Round Hill sheep farmer. More on Ms Walbridge here. […]
You all better start changing your tune.
The Blues will be out with a vengeance in Virginia come election day. It doesn’t matter whether these two ladies are sheep farmers or political newbies, the money is going to be there. The town hall crashers are going to be there. And they WILL dominate the discussion through intimidation and noise. A 25 percent margin last time may vanish into nothing. Underestimate the situation at your peril.
Democrats won’t waste their money in these two Trump supporting districts.
Well don’t be surprised to find you are living in a ‘pink’ district after the election.
Hahaha, I am the LEAST bit concerned about that!
Only problem with that conjecture is that it is 100% completely false. For both the 10th and the 33rd Districts Loudoun County is the primary vote engine. Trump LOST Loudoun and the 10th District to Hillary Clinton by a crushing 55.1% to 38.2% vote percentage.
Let’s look at Comstock’s 2014 races in the 10th for a second which she won by 16.1% and in her 2016 win by a mire 5.8% and we see her percentage win numbers dropped by 2/3 with a corresponding drop in her winning vote count also.
That Democrats “won’t waste their money” with this track record is an insane proposition. You need to join us back in political reality. LaRock is particularly vulnerable as a far right wing social conservative with a heavy Evangelical bent in a state District that is MOST certainly NOT moving in that direction in voting base. To defend a seat first it might help to have a minimal grasp on the voting demographics that comprise it. Just a thought,
Agree the 10th District turned more blue in 2016 but Clarke County and Frederick County is solidly red. In both counties Trump’s margins were higher than Romney four years earlier.
Romney won Clarke with a 1,000 vote margin in 2012 while Trump had a 1,600 vote margin last year.
Frederick County was more impressive. In 2012 Romney won by 10,000 votes. In 2016 Trump won by over 14,000 votes.
Off-year Election will have an effect on turn out but La Rock and Minchew should have no troubles.
Could we believe it was Americanism that turned out 60% more in Clarke and 40% more in Frederick for Trump rather than the Globalist Romney ?
Voters are tired of the Potomic two step.
Lies appear to be a job qualification.
Wrong.
Say it with me, “Delegate Wendy Gooditis”
🙂
Yet even with those, Bob Marshall still wins the whacko challenger contest.
How did Rocinante’s comment get on this thread? I’ve missed torturing him!!!!
Whoops!
That March included something for everyone don’tcha know: a chance for “ladies” to parade around in vagina hats, a chance for paid protesters to destroy public property that WE will all pay for, a chance to hear the most vulgar two women in the Hollywood posse, and a chance to get their faces on TV. These two Loudouners were inspired by THAT to run for public offices. A word to Loudoun voters: RUN AWAY.
“Pussy” hats. Not “Vagina” hats. The newly-wed President was very clear in his statement about what he grabbed (because he was a celebrity) and he specifically stated “pussy” not “vagina.” They are Pussy hats. That’s P-U-S-S-Y for those of you with trouble spelling. So if you’re going to sit in your glass house and feign moral outrage and pretend that Republicans lay claim to some kind ethical high ground after electing THAT to represent America, at least try to look like you know what you’re talking about. Enjoy your President. He won’t be there long.
Am betting that you have little to say about Clinton, LBJ and JFK. Powerful men have always been an attraction to women and vice versa. And let’s face it, you would have elected Hillary who sold American secrets in a pay for play scheme that makes Benedict Arnold look silly in comparison. While you are busy screaming “pussy”, I think screaming “traitor” is a bit more important.
For any woman participating in that coarse, vulgar spectacle to claim she will be attempting to “retake the moral center” of the nation must certainly be delusional.
Any [person] who elected that coarse, vulgar spectacle of a President, and claims moral superiority to Democratic candidates like Walbridge or Gooditis must certainly be delusional.
And yet you, and others, idolized Bill Clinton and still do. Hypocrisy is about the only value that seems to epitomize you. Pity.
Yep, he is coarse and vulgar. You, on the other hand, just can’t get over the fact that he is President because of his love for America.
Let LaRock run against both of the ladies and when he defeats them we will have saved Minchews money.
I like the way you think!
