In 2020 Denver Riggleman lost his 5th district seat in Congress to conservative Bob Good in a Republican primary. Riggleman is now he’s considering a run for Governor, this time as an Independent.
From Dailyprogress.com:
“I haven’t ruled it out 100%, a run for governor,” Riggleman told The Daily Progress on Wednesday at an event promoting his book “Breach,” an account of his time serving on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.”
Riggleman formally left the Republican Party in June 2022, after serving only one term in Congress. Riggleman cited “ludicrous” Republican politics as one of the reasons for his leaving the party.

“I think if I ever ran again it would be for an executive position,” Riggleman told the crowd on Wednesday gathered at Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge for the event hosted by the Senior Statesmen of Virginia.
(Good luck with that Denver. Your chance of being Governor is on par with my chance.)
