Press release issued today:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: BISHOP E.W. JACKSON PROMISES A “DIFFERENT CAMPAIGN,” LAUNCHES BID FOR U.S. SENATE
Bishop E.W. Jackson, the 2013 Republican nominee for Lt. Governor of Virginia, announced the launch of his campaign for U.S. Senate.
“The people of Virginia deserve a campaign of hope, opportunity, and freedom,” said Jackson. “I am not the proverbial next-in-line nor am I the establishment favorite. The truth is quite the opposite. I am, however, a fierce believer in limited government, limitless opportunity, and unapologetic conservatism, and I look forward to waging a campaign that will inspire Virginians to Believe Again in America.”
Jackson’s inspiring story of going from foster care to being a Harvard educated attorney and minister, serving in the Marines, and launching numerous faith-based efforts has inspired strong support among grassroots conservatives. The Chesapeake area minister said he expected his atypical campaign to attract continued support.
“This is not going to be your typical campaign, and I am not going to be your typical candidate,” said Jackson. “We are going to do things differently, and I believe the people of Virginia are going to respond to what we are offering.”
A devout Christian and fearless conservative, Jackson unveiled a theme of “Believe Again,” promised to fight for all Virginians, and pledged to reach out to new voters. He also took aim at the “swamp” and offered a stark contrast to the current political environment.
“I am running for U.S. Senate to make certain that you can look your child in the eyes and tell them that they will see an America greater than the one you ever knew,” said Jackson. “This campaign is not about me. It’s about us. It’s about a movement, and it will be unlike any other. We will be different. We will be hopeful. And, we will be victorious.”
Jackson and his wife, Theodora, have been married for 47 years, have 3 children, and reside in Chesapeake, VA. For more information, visit www.ewjackson.com, or contact media@ewjackson.com.

It is great to have serious candidates with different ideas. EW and Corey are serious candidates, and the Republican Party needs the vigor and energy of their commitment to God and country. Ed was a nice guy but he inspired no one.
I wonder what EW’s strategy is to overcome the negatives that prevented victory in his previous statewide run. If anything, the climate is even more hostile to a successful run now, than it was before. Also, he’d be the top of the ticket, rather than an “also”, and is seen by some as having been a drag on his runningmates. That being said, I think him a good and honorable man, and would rather EW than Stewart as my standard-bearer. Fortunately, we’ll likely have more and stronger candidates to choose from.
Stewart appears to always stay true to his course while other Republicans walk around aimlessly.
And the Nick fellow, limited government but he sponsors and desires workforce development?
Isn’t workforce development code for increased HB visas you know Habib from Pakistan brought to Va educated at Va Tech on our dollar then given a job for much less at B&W or Areva than the American citizen who of his own “Free Will” aspired and educated themselves for the position in a fair market.
Stewart is the only steady, stay the course true Republican.
Stewart is the only Republican Candidate in position to call out Kaine and Va AFLCIO President D. Mays.
Stewart is the only Candidate to with honest conviction to say;
” um excuse but isn’t your current “Comprehensive Tax Reform” severely lacking in a MAGA agenda, America First, yes where is E-Verify.
Put your one where your mouth is kinda thing.
Stewart for Senate 2018
The rest are just trying to talk a buzzard of a meat wagon!
Stewart and Jackson, what a pair, Kaine will slaughter either one. Stewarts new best friends are nazis, white supremacsits and pedofiles, while Jackson, as John McCain would say, a “wack-a-do,”
Can’t wait to see which troll calls E. W. an establishment hack first
That would be funny. 😀
Don’t put it past some of the rocket scientists on here
Mr. Jackson did raise an interesting point about Stewart’s companionship w/ the Muslim Brotherhood and the land deal involving the rural crescent in PWC. I’ll be looking forward to the back-and-forth on this issue…
