Folks, we have until April 14th, 2006 to file in the State of Virginia to be considered a candidate for U.S. Congress in the 2006 general election. So far, according to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, no one has filed (yet) to run against incumbent Republican Frank Wolf in the 10th district. Will someone please step forward? I am volunteering to work in your campaign.
Seriously folks, the race over in the 11th district is already hot enough to have three candidates with campaign websites (at least, I did not spend long looking):
- Tom Davis (incumbent Republican)
Ken Longmyer (challenging Democrat)
Andrew Hurst (new challenging Democrat)
There are even three challengers to Jo Ann Davis (incumbent Republican) over in the 1st district, though none have websites up yet:
- Shawn O’Donnell (challenging Democrat)
Marvin Pixton III (challenging Independent Greens)
Carl Stephen Wolfe II (challenging Democrat)
So why have we no one challenging Mr Wolf in the 10th? He voted to cut veterans benefits. He’s been in office since 1981, and is a member of the House Appropriations Committee. He steadfastly refuses to participate in the NPAT survey, and does not respond to letters from voting citizens in his district (me). At least his voting record is a matter of public record, and he cannot hide from that.
