Stuart, VA – Tonight, the Legislative District Committee for House District 47 met and voted unanimously for a state-run primary as the method of nomination. Represented counties at the meeting were Carroll, Floyd, Henry, and Patrick. Galax City, representing 6% of the weighted vote, was absent.
The following statement can be attributed to Del. Wren Williams:
“This is a big win for the Republican voters of our district,” Williams said. “Republicans everywhere will be able to cast their ballots freely for their preferred candidate for delegate at their local precincts. They won’t have to jump through arbitrary hoops to have their voice heard.”
“I thank the Legislative District Committee for their unanimous decision to have a state-run primary for the good of our party. I am looking forward to sharing with the voters about my track record as a proven conservative leader, and why I am the best candidate to represent them.”
