Senator Mike Lee Endorses Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas for United States Senate
ARLINGTON, VA- Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas has been endorsed by United States Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) in his bid to replace Tim Kaine in the U.S. Senate.
Sen. Lee released the following statement:
When I met Nick, we had a long conversation about the need to restore the federal government to its proper size as outlined in the Constitution.
After researching his voting record in Virginia’s General Assembly, it’s clear Nick Freitas will join me and Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz in championing our conservative principles.
Nick Freitas is the only candidate running for U.S. Senate in Virginia with a record of promoting the pro-liberty principles of our founding fathers.
This is the second endorsement for Del. Freitas from a sitting U.S. senator. Earlier this year, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced his support.
During his endorsement, Sen. Paul said, “
As a Green Beret and Delegate in Virginia’s state legislature, Nick Freitas has more than proven to be a man of integrity and is dedicated to preserving liberty and the conservative values you and I hold dear.”
Nick Freitas is continuing to attract the attention and endorsements of some of the most liberty minded conservatives in the Commonwealth and the nation as his campaign continues to gain traction.

I hope the republicans are smart THIS TIME. Kaine had to have known about at least some of the shenanigans in the Clinton campaign.
If the Freitas fella believes in limited Goverment or is against Goverment growth then why hasn’t he crafted a bill so simple as to have The Commonwealth stop paying rent for The Department of Labor and Industry offices and place these minimal staffed Depts within the same building with the local Va Employment Commission?
Example;
Stop renting VOSHA/DOLI office on Old Forest rd Lynchburg, Va and move the skeleton staff to the large VEC Building on Mayflower Dr.
23rd District of Republican Senator Santurary Steve Newman.
Is Freitas just scared to have the office that writes the violation to the unlicensed contractor,misclassified employee or illegal immigrant in the same building of the man that performs the employer audit?
This makes sense, Freitas’ whole campaign rhetoric sounds lifted from the Cuccinelli/Cruz playbook. Freitas may have some points, but he is going to have zero chance against Kaine, and again, the RPV will be basically going into the ring with one hand tied behind its back. We might as well save the money and time.
I agree that it’s hard to have any confidence in the RPV. However, I believe Kaine has an Achilles heel. He had to have known about the illegal surveillance of the Trump by the Obama administration during the 2016 election cycle. The intelligence gathered therefrom would have had a high value to the Clinton campaign. As VP on the ticket, Kaine would have known about same. Still – republicans will need to start questioning Kaine about what he knew and when and demand full transparency. Since they have great difficulty answering the telephone at the RPV a strident pursuit of the political oppening this provides is unlikely.
Our leaders who formerly won statewide (McDonnell, Bolling, Cuccinnelli, Allen, J. Warner, Gilmore, Hager, Kilgore, Earley) who are they endorsing?
Because Freitas uses his position and Freedom to sit on the sidelines to illegal employment of illegal aliens in Va. in clear violation of existing Va laws shows us he lacks the experience to Represent Virginians on a National level.
Experience only, no Rookies or Party puppets.
I guess Mike Lee never had a conversation with E.W. Jackson. Mike was extremely misguided with his never Trump antics at the last GOP national convention, and he is extraordinarily wrong with this endorsement statement. Nick better start picking higher caliber friends!
