I haven't, but it's a darned good idea. I have a Rep contact at work, I believe.

Freitas to go against Spanberger in VA CD 7

https://richmond.com/news/virg...0d-e8ee0240afec.html

Del. Nick Freitas, R-Culpeper, will take on Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, in November.

In an in-person convention in Caroline County on Saturday, Freitas, who has served in the House of Delegates since 2016, received 56% of the vote on the third ballot, outlasting five challengers in his bid to secure the GOP nomination in the one-time Republican stronghold that turned blue in 2018.

In the final round of balloting, Freitas topped Del. John McGuire, R-Goochland, who received 44% of the vote. The win for Freitas, who sought the GOP U.S. Senate nomination in 2018, sets up what is likely to be a closely watched contest with Spanberger in a swing district that includes eight rural counties and large swaths of suburban Chesterfield and Henrico.

“Today is a victory, and it’s the victory that launches another fight,” Freitas told supporters after the results were announced around 8:30 p.m., “and the fight that we’re going on next, this is the one we wanted. We had to fight this one first, but the one we’re in now, that’s the one we wanted. That’s the one we’re excited about.”

Freitas, a U.S. Army veteran who gained national recognition in 2018 for a pro-guns speech on the House floor, looks to represent a district that includes all of Orange, Culpeper, Goochland, Louisa, Nottoway, Amelia and Powhatan counties, along with large parts of Spotsylvania, Chesterfield and Henrico counties

This is a big one. Let's send Freitas to the U.S. House of Representatives.

It was an amazing day at the 7th Congressional District Convention. My wife and I arrived at 8am and didn't leave until 6:45pm, after the 3rd and final round. It was hot....like stupid hot, but that didn't dissuade those of us that know what kind of fight we need to put up against Spanberger. I spent the time between rounds talking with other patriots and like minded individuals about what needs to happen. Dan Gade and Amanda Chase were there too. Overall it was 3500 people that showed to vote in the convention and all but one campaign was civil...he lost and I am certain it was because of how he conducted himself. Here is a really good breakdown of the events

I told people if I had the chance to talk to him that I would tell him that. I would have voted 3rd party over him in November if he had won.

I only saw him once all day yesterday and when I did, I confronted him about it. He didn't think what he was doing was wrong. Anyhow, my wife said the exact same thing you did.

Overall, I was quite surprised at how approachable the other candidates were.
