One down, one to go – with former (faaaar-right) Del. Dave LaRock failing to make the VA GOP primary ballot for governor, that leaves former (also faaaar-right) VA State Senator Amanda Chase as the only possible competition for the nomination. On the Democratic side, of course, Abigail Spanberger has the nomination locked up. The deadline to turn in petition signatures is 5 pm today (Spanberger turned 40,000 in on March 17).
P.S. Obviously, Virginia Democrats would LOVE to see Winsome Earle-Sears through the primary in mid-June involved in a vicious intra-Republican civil war. But that may not end up happening; we’ll see soon enough if Amanda Chase makes the ballot or not.
On the Republican side for LG, it looks like it will be John Reid vs. Pat Herrity for that nomination…
