Republican heavy hitters join Jeb Bush campaign in Virginia
Today, the day before the deadline to submit signatures for the Virginia ballot, the Washington Post reports "Republican heavy hitters join Jeb Bush's campaign in Virginia." This strong show of support for Jeb Bush comes after he submitted over 10,000 signatures, two times the amount needed to qualify for the Virginia ballot, on November 18. The full list of support is below.“Jeb
Bush is the leader this country needs, and the Commander in Chief I
want in the Oval office to protect my family and this
nation,” said
State Senator Ben Chafin, of Russell County. “Further,
Jeb
understands
Southwest
Virginia
and
the challenges our families are
facing. He has an energy plan that embraces domestic coal
production and will put people back to work.”
Governor
Bush has been to Virginia three times in the past few months, including
an appearance in Bristol, VA in September to help raise money for the
Senate Republican Caucus. He also recently attended a candidate’s
forum hosted by Pat Robertson at Regent University in Virginia
Beach.
"When
the primary is over, there is only one candidate who is capable of
defeating Hillary Clinton, and that is Jeb Bush,” said State
Senator John Watkins, from Chesterifeld.
This support comes in addition to Jeb's previously announced
Virginia Co-Chairs, Kay Coles James, Former Virginia Secretary of
Health, Eric Cantor, Former House Majority Leader and John
Hager, Former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia,and other lawmakers including Jerry
Kilgore,
Fmr.
Attorney
General
