Trump Campaign Announces Southside / Central Virginia Leadership Team
Former Congressman Virgil Goode and Fifth District
Leaders Stand with Mr. Trump
(New
York, NY) November 25th, 2015 - The Donald J. Trump for President
Campaign has announced its 5th Congressional District Virginia
Leadership Team comprised of Republican and Tea Party leaders as well
as current and former elected officials.
Mr.
Trump stated, "I am proud to announce these fantastic additions to my
Virginia leadership team. We have had tremendous crowds and enthusiasm
from supporters across the state. I will do a great job for the people
of Virginia and with their help we will Make America Great Again!"
Former
Congressman Virgil Goode, will serve as Chairman of the Fifth District
Team. Danville Tea Party Chairman and Pittsylvania County
Supervisor-elect Ron Scearce and Campbell County Supervisor and GOP
Chairman Eric Zehr will serve as Goode's co-chairs.
Virgil
Goode stated, "Contrary to the claims of the political consultant
class, Mr. Trump is the only candidate who can defeat Hillary Clinton.
Millions of Republican voters stayed home in 2008 and 2012 because they
felt the GOP represented the interests of Wall Street rather than those
of working Americans. Donald Trump is the best candidate to connect
with those voters who feel disaffected from both parties."
Other
members of the leadership team include Republican Party of Virginia
State Central Committee Member Renee Trent Maxey, local political
activist and businessman Jim McKelvey, and Lynchburg-area attorney
Susan Oliver.
The Trump
Campaign announced Hampton Roads Chairman, Gary C. Byler last month as
well as additions to the Virginia staff. Mr. Trump has visited Virginia
many times throughout his campaign, most recently on October 31st when
he announced his Veterans Affairs Reform policy in Norfolk. Mr. Trump will return to Manassas for a rally on
Wednesday, December 2nd.
