Former Republican Del. Dave LaRock is considering a run for Governor after a grassroots campaign began earlier this week. Waverly Woods began the campaign and rumor has it that she will manage it. Dave was a Loudoun County delegate for 10 years prior to a move to Clark County where he ran and lost to Timmy French in a primary for state senate.
From Virginia Scope:
“There seems to be a pretty good grassroots push in that direction, and people collecting signatures to that effect,” LaRock said in an interview with Virginia Scope on Wednesday. “That’s probably about as much as I want to say at this point.”
Waverly Woods began the campaign and rumor has it she will manage it. Also from the Scope, Woods said:
“Honestly, my phone’s been blowing up,” she said in an interview with Virginia Scope. “I thought [LaRock] was an amazing legislator. He has a great track record, and I’m hoping we can convince him to do it. This is a real grassroots movement, and I’m happy to get people motivated to do it.”
“I literally just started today,” she continued. “I just got engaged in it today. That’s just me. I don’t know how many other people were doing something somewhere else. The scuttle was going around, and I was like, ‘I’m grabbing this bull by the horns.’”
LaRock will need 10,000 signatures with 400 from each congressional district by April 3rd to get on the Virginia primary ballot to challenge the declared Republican candidate, Lt. Governor Winsome Sears. Woods is unconcerned about getting the signatures.
“I’ve done this before,” she said. “I’ve totally done this before. And here’s the other thing: he’s well known. It’s not like I’m bringing in an absolute nobody to try and convince them.”

When will DOGE style & Anti-Illegal Immigration Republican Representatives & Candidates emerge?
As I always say;
Richmond is the overflow pond to the Swamp.
As DC empties itself it is only logical for the sucubusses of America to migrate to Richmond.
Semper Fi
First things first, based on that picture, he, or someone in his group needs to learn how to tie a full Windsor knot.
Where Waverly Woods is, Chris and Diana Shores can’t be far behind. All of them were on Bob Good’s payroll and now need jobs.
I don’t know LaRock’s motivation for running, but I will NEVER support any candidate who hires Woods, Bonnie & Clyde (Shores), or the rest of their “CONsultants” gang of hoodlums.
I am no fan of Sears but LaRock has little chance of winning. The CONsultant cartel will run him anyway for money. Remember your donations feed these grifters.
Governor Youngkin has already endorsed Winsome Sears his Lt. Governor. We need a United Republican Party!
Money does not need to be wasted on a primary!
Larock deciding to run is a stupid and selfish move.
I predict that whatever he runs for he will lose. He was a VERY sore loser when he lost the Senate Race to Timmy French last year. He blamed everyone but him self. The voters will reject him again.
So once again we will have Republican fratricide as Governor Youngkin has already endorsed Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. Sorry but this selfish move will ensure a Democrat will be next in line to occupy the Executive Mansion. As Pogo said, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.
I agree. I received the email that had LaRock’s petition. I discarded it. Winsome should be the next Governor and should run unopposed. One wonders if the fact that Sears is a black woman had anything to do with this sudden issue.
Yes Sir !
One very important thing about Dave LaRock, he is NOT in bed with Dominion Energy. That may end any chance he has to become a serious contender. Winsome appears to be on the Dominion Energy Train. Dave LaRock appears on tracks in front of the Domion Energy train. If LaRock refuses Dominion Energy’s loot, I’d vote for him. I’m not supporting the continuation of Dominion Energy’s ruling Virginia with an iron fist. Yes, Youngkin is Governor, but Dominion Energy is in charge. Youngkin is certainly no Trump. He does not deserve to be president. Speaker Don Scott and Minority Leader Todd Gilbert combined, have taken right at $4,000,000 from the Dominion Energy ruling regime. How crooked is that? Who are they really working for? I will not support Winsome Sears because she is just another Dominion Energy puppet.
