Friends, to be clear, former Republican State Senator Glen Sturtevant is running against me. He is not simply "running for re-election," or running for "an open seat" as he is misleading people to believe.
He lost in 2019 because he lost the conservative vote. Now he wants to run again. And the good old boys are putting him up against me.
The political elite and lobbyist community are backing Glen because they don't want an America First Senator who for almost 8 years has not been afraid to challenge business as usual in Richmond.
In fact, Senate Republican Minority Leader Tommy Norment, who introduced gun control legislation and another local tax increase bill, recently sponsored a fundraiser for Sturtevant. He's their guy.
After all, Sturtevant sponsored the anti pro-life ERA bill and voted for red flag laws, which deny gun owners due process.
He compromised. He lost the Conservative vote. He lost the pro-2A community. And in 2019 he lost re-election to the Virginia Senate. And now he wants a 2nd chance when I've voted consistently right the entire time.
I stood strong. I won the Conservative vote. I won the pro-2A community. I won my re-election campaign in 2019.
We the People want someone who stands strong.
At the Chesterfield County Fair, we both had a booth next to the Chesterfield GOP booth. Many people had no idea that after redistricting he was now in the same district in which I am the Republican Incumbent Senator for Chesterfield and Colonial Heights.
That's right.
Former Senator Glen Sturtevant is challenging a Republican who was rated #1 by the American Conservative Union at CPAC. If Glen Sturtevant were a true conservative, he would get behind me. But he's taking advantage of the confusion caused by redistricting to say he is "running for re-election."
After redistricting, I'm still the incumbent Republican Senator as documented by third party non partisan source VPAP for Senate District 12, which includes Chesterfield and Colonial Heights. I've represented these 2 counties for almost 8 years. While yes, the number of the senate district I represent changes from SD11 to SD12 beginning January 2024, geographically it is 90% the same district. Regardless of lines changing slightly I'm still the Incumbent Senator.
Typically, you get behind the incumbent so that donors spend money on defeating Democrats instead of Republicans. Glen and Tina Rameriz are both asking you to spend money on taking out a Republican. But not just any Republican: a Republican who was ranked number one by the nationally recognized 'The American Conservative Union at CPAC'.
The difference is that after redistricting, my new district no longer includes Amelia but it includes more of Chesterfield; 90% of the district is the same and I've represented and been re-elected to for almost 8 years now.
It's not an "open seat" when an incumbent legislator lives in the district as noted by VPAP.
Just wanted to clear up any confusion.
If he wanted to be truthful, former State Senator Glen Sturtevant, who formerly represented Senate District 10, would say he's a former state Senator who lost in 2019, but after redistricting he now lives in Senate 12.
He's challenging incumbent Republican State Senator Amanda Chase. Instead of supporting the incumbent Republican, he's challenging the incumbent. Nothing wrong with that, but just say it. Don't mislead voters.
Let's give the voters all of the information so they can make an educated decision instead of half the information.
We still need 5,000 people to donate $100 today so that we can meet our goal before January 11. Please donate today and send the political elite a message.
