Gillespie launches bid for VA governor
Ed Gillespie, who lost a U.S. Senate bid against Democrat Mark Warner in 2014, has announced his campaign for Governor.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Republican Ed Gillespie has launched his campaign for Virginia governor vowing to jump-start the state’s economy, in part by cutting taxes.
The former Republican National Committee chairman is making a series of appearances around Virginia. His first three stops on Saturday were in Chantilly, Richmond and Virginia Beach.
Gillespie narrowly lost a U.S. Senate bid against Democrat Mark Warner in 2014.
In a series of tweets Saturday, Gillespie criticized the economic policies of Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and his preferred successor, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam. He says he’ll cut taxes for families and small businesses and that Virginia “can’t afford four more years of a liberal governor.”
Prince William County board chairman Corey Stewart and state Sen. Frank Wagner also seek the GOP nomination.
