The Winchester Star published an article today going into a bit more detail about the 10th district GOP primary on June 10th between Vern McKinley and Frank Wolf.

Winchester — U.S. Rep. Frank R. Wolf, R-10th, continues to work for his constituents on Capitol Hill as the Republican primary for his seat approaches.

Wolf’s congressional efforts, which include the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Bill and helping to get financial assistance for the Dulles rail project, also serve as the bulk of his political campaigning.

First elected in 1980 when President Reagan took office, Wolf generally has turned back each challenger easily. His last primary battle against a fellow Republican was in 1980.

McKinley believes his candidacy for the GOP nomination has grown in strength, as more voters begin to look at the race for the 10th District congressional seat.

Mention Of McKinley In Nolan Chart Article

Filed Under 2008 Election, Foreign Policy, Media, News Items | Leave a Comment

Vern McKinley received a nice mention within an article on the Nolan Chart from author, “Jake, the Champion of the Constitution”.

I continue to search for other candidates that will not go to war so carelessly, and I am pleased to report I found another. Vern McKinley is running for the House in the 10th congressional district of Virginia. I wrote Vern an email (info@mckinleyforcongress.com) inquiring as to his stance on wars before sending a donation, with two caveats that I was only considering a piddly donation, and that I didn’t even live in Virginia.

His name is Vern McKinley, and he did something very strange. He wrote me back. (Background - this is from a California resident who has written his Representative and Senators over 60 times, sometimes from a personal email and sometimes using www.downsizedc.org, sometimes reasonably and sometimes frantically. I am still waiting for my first reply, its like writing to a wall)
