UPDATE: Looks like VA Senate District 8 will be a contest after all. A lop-sided contest, from the looks of it. But a contest is a contest, and that's better than nothing.Here's a recent news article about the new challenger who just announced his candidacy:
Last minute Dem to file in 8th districtAny candidate who is running unopposed is just like a sitting incumbent: not listening. That's why a contest in Virginia Beach is, well ... better than not having a contest.
Washington Post (blog) - Rosalind Helderman
But Fleming said activists involved with the group Virginia Beach for Change, which organized to support President Obama, wanted a choice in the race....
So the next step is to approach both candidates and ask them a simple question: "What's your position on the universal helmet law?" Yes, it's that easy to find out.
The best person to ask that question is someone who lives inside VA Senate District 8, though any biker who lives in the Tidewater area is just as good. I'll ask ABATE of Virginia first, since they have two chapters in the area ... both with campaign experience.
As always, I'll keep the ELECTIONS page updated at RIDE2REPEAL.COM.
