SWVA needs good representation in the Va House of Representatives. Nick Rush held and operated the post well. His Conservative leadership and Experience must be replaced in November. Virginia must return to core values. The fire House’s primary is to decide who will challenge the left and its agenda to turn VA into another California. All 3 candidates for the primary are impassioned conservatives. Only one has the experience of standing up to the rigors and protocols needed to manage and change VA Hose of Representatives Please Vote for Sherri Blevins.

While all 3 candidates are good likeable conservatives, I believe one stands above , and that’s Marie March for several reasons. I personally have never met any of the candidates but have done enough research to know that Ms March would be the best candidate from our district to oppose the radicals now in control. We must strategically cast our vote for someone most likely to beat the leftist Democrat vying for Nick’s seat, someone with a demonstrated ‘fire-in-the-belly’ to go toe-to-toe with the Leftists who hate America. Marie has campaign funds that are several times the funds of the other two candidates and, unfortunately, it takes money to win.
Remember, think strategically when voting in any election; put personal feelings aside and vote for the conservative most likely to beat the leftist radicals.
