From Senator Chases’s Facebook today,
>>>>A HUGE victory for the Chase for Governor campaign today as the Republican Party of Virginia State Central Committee chooses a convention over a primary.
It’s official. While I am a Republican; I will be seeking the nomination in a primary as an Independent.
It’s the only way to bypass the political consultants and the Republican establishment elite who slow play the rules or even cheat grassroots candidates. They have demonstrated consistently that they are out of touch with the people of Virginia and now they are only allowing the party elite to participate.
I am a Republican running as an Independent in a primary. Keeping my word to my February announcement that I would run for Governor.
Beginning January 1, 2021 we will begin collecting signatures to get my name on the ballot and we will need your help as we aim to collect over 50,000 signatures statewide. Please email Debbie at debbie@chaseforva.com if you are interested in helping with collecting signatures.<<<<
Independent candidates run in primaries? Who knew?
