With a resounding 81% of the vote, Ryan McDougle trounced his Democratic opponent in the 4th Senate District.
No big surprise, but I do have to say I was a tad bit concerned when I walked (dragged more accurately, I am not feeling well) into the polling station in the Battlefield Precinct and saw only 44 votes tallied at 3:30pm.
Regardless, the path is now clear for Republican Chris Peace to step up to the plate in the 97th HOD District. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Chris, and he will make a great conservative addition to the House of Delegates.
Still no word on the 17th Senate District as of yet, although Governor-Elect Kaine will be making some announcements tomorrow morning which I’m sure we’ll all be keeping an eye on.
