Dave Brat

In a stunning defeat reminiscent of conservative Dave Bratt’s defeat of incumbent House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, full spectrum conservative Bob Good defeated incumbent RINO Congressman Denver Riggleman in the Fifth District Republican Convention.  And the margin wasn’t even close – Bob Good booked 58 percent of the vote to Riggleman’s 42 percent.

We doubt any conservative who worked in Denver Riggleman’s hard-fought 2018 campaign expected they would have to turn around and work to defeat him in 2020, but the grassroots campaign to replace RINO GOP Rep. Riggleman with a solid liberty-loving conservative has just gained more steam after Riggleman abandoned President Trump once again to vote with the Democrats.

Principled limited government constitutional conservative Bob Good, who currently sits in the Campbell County Board of Supervisors and serves as the senior associate athletics director at Liberty University is preparing to officially enter the race to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District, thereby challenging incumbent immigration turncoat RINO Rep. Denver Riggleman.

In a sober, frank, open and honest discussion of Rep. Denver Riggelman's voting record the Rappahannock County Republican Committee voted to censure the freshman GOP Representative for voting to undermine President Trump’s program of "American jobs for American workers" and undermining Trump’s pledge to stay out of other countries’ civil wars and to refrain from military commitments not clearly tied to our own national security.

After decades of stagnant wages (due in some measure to pressure from illegal alien labor) American workers in the construction industry are now receiving a much-deserved raise, however, by co-sponsoring H.R. 1740 Rep. Denver Riggelman wants to dilute the construction labor market by adding foreign workers thereby depressing the wages of American workers in one of the few totally domestic labor markets.

An informally constituted grassroots coalition is apparently serious about vetting and promoting one candidate from among RINO Riggelman’s potential challengers in the expectation that they can identify a candidate who can not only defeat Riggleman for the GOP nomination in Virginia's fifth congressional district, but go on to win in November 2020.

If the GOP Congress doesn't produce on the Obamacare repeal don’t be intimidated about running for office - if there was ever a year in which being an incumbent and having the support of lobbyists, insiders and political powerbrokers was a hindrance, not a help, 2018 will be that year.

We agree with our friends in the Freedom Caucus; it’s time to go big on tax reform, and to do that Congress must work through the August recess to get a bill on the President’s desk.

While the Republican party appears to be shifting away from the establishment toward a more populist direction, Brat says many lawmakers are not taking the hint voters want to see something different.

Conservative businessman Paul Nehlen has confirmed he will challenge Paul Ryan for the Wisconsin District 1 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The presidential election has given rise to similarly historic circumstances, with nontraditional candidates surging largely by emphasizing a need to restrict immigration. Brat said he is proud to observe that the mood in his district served largely to foreshadow the mood nationally.

The divide between the GOP establishment and House conservatives could not have been starker on "Meet the Press" Sunday as House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Dave Brat and moderate Rep. Charlie Dent took the gloves off. Brat accused Dent of siding with Nancy Pelosi and blasted him for saying that conservatives should be punished for not toeing leadership's line.

The debate is now concluded. The race for former Majority Leader Eric Cantor's House seat in Virginia's 7th Congressional District is hotter than ever.

Like Dave Brat, Joe Carr has focused on Lamar Alexander’s record of supporting immigration reform, which the campaign sees as his Achilles heel. “There’s no question it’s his greatest weakness, because it’s my greatest strength,” Carr said.

“The White House has criticized Israel’s government for not offering concessions to the very terrorists who have driven Israeli citizens into bomb shelters and who choose to operate from residential areas, using innocent bystanders as human shields."

To tea party R's, Ray Allen is thwarting Dave Brat’s ascent. They blame Allen & other Cantorites for diverting from the 7th District GOP treasury to nat'l GOP groups almost $400k that could've stayed in the district, underwriting a locally run voter-mobilization effort for Brat. He’ll get only $5,000.

Underdog GOP candidates such as Chris McDaniel, Joe Carr, and Milton Wolf want to dethrone establishment incumbents in the 2014 elections.

71% of Virginia voters who are “unaffiliated” with either party voted for Dave Brat, while only 29% voted for “moderate” Eric Cantor. When asked which issues most influenced voters’ decision to vote for Brat, “Gov't Spending” & “Immigration/Amnesty” were statistically tied for the top reason.

Dave Brat didn't beat Eric Cantor through osmosis; he won through hard work. The only way to replicate his victory is to buckle down and knock on doors, make phone calls, send email, post on social media and sell our conservative candidates in every forum we can find.
