Scott York Desperate to Associate with Republican Will Estrada’s Good Name

In a press release this morning, Scott York asked me and other local Republican activists to provide cover for him amid allegations of campaign finance improprieties.

When a person makes a donation in Virginia, it is the responsibility of the campaign to make diligent efforts to collect certain information about the donor and to report the donation. Failure to do so compromises the integrity & transparency of our system.

The Leesburg Democrat running against Mr. Estrada has switched parties. Scott York has done so 4 times! York also zealously investigated allegations of impropriety made against a fellow supervisor, yet appears unwilling to face similar scrutiny himself. All of this begs the question: is Scott York willing to put the interests of Loudoun citizens ahead of his personal interests.

York’s suggestion that I defend his reputation relies on the dubious assumption that his record and character are as unassailable as Republican Supervisor candidate Will Estrada’s.

Voters of goodwill can easily recognize that the Estrada allegations should be dismissed as nothing more than the eleventh hour grasping of a career politician facing unexpectedly strong opposition.

The campaign finance allegations against Mr. York need to be investigated further by the State Board of Elections or by a Commonwealth’s Attorney.

And Scott York should be ashamed of this desperate attempt to associate himself with the good name of Leesburg Republican Board of Supervisor’s candidate Will Estrada.

We can do better, Loudoun County! Here’s a warm invitation to all Republicans, Independents, and independent minded Democrats to join me in voting for our great Republican team at the polls tomorrow.
