Five Republican candidates are running for Virginia Senate.
Here's a link to each of their websites, and some quick notes about what I read.
I'm leaning towards Hung Cao, but that's just my initial impression, and I would like to see a debate. If you live in VA and have some good info to share, I'd appreciate it.
Eddie Garcia
ISSUES — Eddie Garcia U.S. Senate
Lots of vagueness, sure appears to be a RINO.
His page on being united is actually divisive - United — Eddie Garcia U.S. Senate
Qualifications include that Eddie “knows how things work.” Also,
Jonathan Emord
Initiatives | Jonathan Emord for U.S. Senate
Oooooh. He wants to defeat the Deep State. I like.
Endorsed by Ron Paul and Dr. Malone.
Lots of specifics. Some ideas kind of out there.
Complete The Wall, and otherwise close the border and arrest and deport.
Reduce government regulations - no regulations unless passed by Congress and signed by POTUS.
No COVID mandates
Amnesty for J6 protestors.
Tax breaks for companies who reduce pollution, instead of Climate mandates.
Huge tax breaks for hospitals which provide free care for poor people.
Defund the FBI, CIA, and DOJ if implicated in political prosecution.
Eliminate the Departments of Education, Energy, Transportation, and Commerce and eliminate the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Treasury Tax and Trade Bureau, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and the Overseas Private Investment Group.
Make it a felony for anyone in government to collude or conspire with media to censor constitutionally protected speech.
Chuck Smith
Platform - Chuck Smith for U.S. Senate
He looks great, but website is lacking specifics and missing plenty of important topics.
He's an attorney and served as the chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia Beach
He ran for AG years ago. Videos from then were not very impressive - https://www.youtube.com/@chucksmithforvirginia8508
Hung Cao
https://www.hungforva.com/
Build the Wall
DEI is racism
Schools are Leftist Indoctrination Centers
Drill Baby Drill.
EPA gives our jobs to foreign countries which use dirtier methods.
Response to COVID created mental health crisis.
LOL, he claims that his non-combat assignment in the Navy was to balance its $140B budget.
Excellent anti-DEI Op Ed from 2022..

Another OpEd.... China is a real threat, and Biden is a puppet of them…
It’s long past time for Biden to stand up to China’s aggression and influence
Scott Parkinson
Scott Parkinson for US Senate
Conservative Dad Outsider. Ex Chief of Staff for DeSantis.
Endorsed by Bob Good, Ted Cruz, and many others.
Website is flashy, but lacks specifics.
