Meet the Candidates: A conversation with Timmy French, Candidate for Virginia Senate – District 1

Meet the Candidates is a series on the Royal Examiner where we will sit down with each candidate in our local election and discuss issues that are important to all of us. In this Meet the Candidates session, our publisher Mike McCool speaks with Timmy French.

Shenandoah County farmer and businessman Timmy French has announced his candidacy for Virginia Senate District 1 in the upcoming election. A lifelong farmer, French is the co-owner of beef, poultry, dairy, and row crop operations and is known for his dedication to traditional farm values that have made our country great.

As a smart businessman, French understands the importance of balancing economic success with preserving the integrity of our land and community. He recognizes that abandoning farm values threatens not only the agricultural community but also America’s future. As a result, he is running for State Senate to ensure that conservative values, community, and neighborly concern remain at the forefront of policy decisions.

According to French, career politicians have failed to prioritize the needs of everyday people and instead focus on their own self-interest and the interests of special groups. He believes that it’s time for decent people to stand up and take back our country from these politicians and special interests. French is committed to fighting for the needs of his constituents and ensuring that their voices are heard in the state legislature.

French’s dedication to his community and his commitment to preserving traditional farm values make him an ideal candidate for Virginia Senate District 1. He is eager to bring his experience as a farmer and businessman to the political arena and work towards a better future for all Virginians.

The primary election will occur on June 20, 2023, with the general election on November 7, 2023.

The Senate of Virginia consists of 40 members, who each represent approximately 215,000 Virginians. Senators serve four-year terms. All 40 seats will be on the ballot in November 2023.
