VPAP. org has put together a chart showing the rise in political donations from outside Virginia:
VPAP.org defines an outside group as:
a non-Virginia partisan group, labor union or single-interest organization that has given at least $5,000 to a candidate for Governor, Lt. Governor or Attorney General. The definition also includes Virginia groups that serve as a pass-through for money from affiliated national organizations.
In this year’s race for Governor, Republican Ed Gillespie has received 30% of his campaign donations from these outside groups and Democrat Ralph Northam has received 32% of his donations from outsiders. With Virginia’s Governor’s race being the only one in the country this year, (New Jersey’s race is a forgone conclusion) it’s not surprising Virginia’s candidates have received many outside donations.

Yes,
As we can expect *both* parties receive these outsider funding. PAC contributions also stink!
The lies,lies,lies a made in Va though.
And to my disbelief that is a violation of one of the 10 Commandments. Once again by both parties but one touts their Christian Conservative values. So that is now just a mere sales technique.
Democrats tout their Christian Conservative values?! I’ve missed that.
I would not know about the Dems.
I am specifically speaking of these Republicans in the Counties of Bedford and Campbell.
In particular to the flyers mailed out for some BOS Members up for reelection.
These mailers have some lies on them.
They are very deceitful.
I will be glad to address these with you after Nov., for now they will be used in opposition.
MS. Martin,
It was also truly upsetting to see all of them absent at “Prayer at the Pole Day” at our local public Elementry, Middle and High Schools.
It is ok the prayers were made by youth ministry from my Church.
