WRVA with John Reid on why Sen. Hashmi Must Resign

In case you missed it, here's my interview from this morning with John Reid on WRVA, linked here.


I am calling on State Senator Ghazala Hashmi to resign over her fraudulent claim of residing at an apartment in North Chesterfield. She has committed election fraud and lied to voters. She must resign.


I am also calling on Republican and Democrat Senate leadership to step up and join me in calling for Sen. Hashmi to resign.


Sen. Hashmi and her husband own a house that they have lived in for about 25 years. Re-districting moved the lines for a lot of state senate districts. Sen. Hashmi's house was drawn into a new district. Virginia law requires state senators to live in the district they represent.


Below is a photo of one of the documents in question, published by The Daily Wire, and here is a link to that one and the rest of her campaign paperwork. Take a good look at lines 4 and 5.


She doesn't live in that apartment, line 4. So she's registered in a place where she doesn't live, line 5. Then take a look at her signature on the form. That's a felony.


I don't know anyone who believes Sen. Hashmi lives alone in North Chesterfield. I seriously doubt even Sen. Scott Surovell believes that. But Scott and his colleagues are going along with Sen. Hashmi's lie; they promoted her to be their caucus treasurer. A known liar handling a lot of money- what could go wrong?


I don't agree with those who say there should be a special election called by the Governor to replace Sen. Hashmi. Two candidates filed in Senate District 15 by the deadline and one is disqualified because she lied about her primary residence.


This cannot stand. We must do something. Please call your State Senator and urge them to pressure Sen. Hashmi to resign and call for a full investigation. Here is the link to the State Senate Directory.


The law applies equally to everyone. The Department of Elections and the Attorney General's office need to investigate, and Republican and Democrat Senate leaders need to join me in calling for Sen. Ghazala Hashmi to resign.
