Republican Liberty Caucus of Virginia Endorses Steve Hunt in the 37th State Senate Special Election
Hunt is the liberty minded choice in the Special Election to fill Ken Cuccinelli’s seat.
Centreville, Va.–Members of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Virginia have endorsed Steve Hunt in the Republican firehouse primary, which will be taking place on December 1, 2009 at Centreville High School from 6-10 p.m. This is to fill the open seat that was previously held by Ken Cuccinelli. Hunt is the only Republican candidate, who will fight for the principles of limited government and lower taxes.Republican Liberty Caucus of Virginia Chairman Matthew Gagnon said, “Ken Cuccinelli was an important advocate for liberty in the Virginia Senate, and it is vitally important that his replacement continue to champion those same values–specifically limited government, free enterprise, low taxes and personal freedom. Steve Hunt is such a person, and the Republican Liberty Caucus of Virginia strongly believes in his candidacy. We enthusiastically endorse Mr. Hunt, and will work hard to see him elected.”
The Republican Liberty Caucus of Virginia was chartered in 2007 and has worked tirelessly throughout the Commonwealth to promote the principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and limited government within the Republican Party.

Carpetbagger Finally Rents Room in 37th State Senate District
Del. Dave Marsden, who is running for the Democrats in the 37th State Senate District, has finally found a place to live within the district. According to The Washington Post, Marsden is renting a room at the house of one of his supporters. Well, at least, he found a place to live, but the question remains: how well does Marsden know the issues that impact the 37th District?
Carpetbagger Alert: Del. Dave Marsden Declares Candidacy for VA-37
Well, well, well…it has only been a matter of time before I would have to write about another carpetbagging candidate in our midst. In my home State Senate district (VA-37), Del. Dave Marsden, who does not live in the 37th has declared his candidacy for the open State Senate seat. The Washington Post’s Virginia Politics blog reported this on Thursday, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the matter.
First and foremost, Marsden only won by a whopping 209 votes in his House of Delegates re-election bid. Evidently, the residents of the 41st District felt that he did not do a great job for his margin of victory to be so close.
Now, Marsden feels he is ready for a promotion to be a State Senator in a district where he does not reside. What does he know about the issues impacting our district?
This is just another prime example of a carpetbagging candidate at its finest. He’ll do anything to win (check out NLS for his true feelings of Marsden), even if that means moving into another district.
Update: "I have to Waffle" is out of the 37th District Senate Race
The Washington Post’s Virginia Politics Blog has confirmed that Janet “I have to waffle” Oleszek will not be running in the 37th District Senate race. David Bulova also stated in the same article that he will not be running either.
Right now, it appears that the only interested Democrat at this point is Del. Dave Marsden, who barely won re-election on Tuesday by 209 votes. Something tells me, this race could get pretty interesting.
Rumor Has It: Janet Oleszek is Running for State Senate
Perhaps, this should bring back memories. In 2007, Janet Oleszek ran against Ken Cuccinelli for the State Senate seat in the 37th District. She made many miscues, including the infamous response during one debate of “I have to waffle.” Even The Washington Post said at the time she was “embarrassingly short on substance.” Now, she wants to run for the seat again.
The question is: Will Janet have to waffle again?
I have a feeling this could come back to haunt Janet once again.
