PEARISBURG, Virginia – On Monday, April 5th, The Pulaski County Board of Supervisors including Joe Guthrie (Chair and Cloyd District Supervisor), Laura Walters (Ingles District), and Dirk Compton (Draper District) are proud to endorse Jason Ballard for the 12th Delegate District to replace Chris Hurst in November. They have provided the following statements for release:
“We as Pulaski County elected Republicans know that Jason Ballard will represent Southwest Virginia’s values and needs in Richmond. Something Chris Hurst has failed to do.”

So, if you vote at either Riverlawn Elementary School or at Belspring Methodist Church, you’re part of the 12th Delegate District. Please vote this November for Jason Ballard for Delegate.”

Voted for Joe but have brought several issues to his attention and have been very disappointed with his response. Most recently the PSA route that involves county employees violating state law. Seems politicians are immune from law. Not sure I could support anyone Joe Guthrie is supporting or Joe Guthrie any longer!
