Tuesday brings the primary between Republicans Scott Sayre and Emmett Hanger.
From the Greene County Record:
“This race is one of the pivotal ones,” says Sean T. O’Brien, executive director of the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at the University of Virginia, speaking about the 24th District Senate race.
Mr. Hanger’s auto-play audio website and recent flood of mailings (a card-stock flyer a day in my mailbox) notwithstanding, he faces a significant challenger in Mr. Sayre.
Emmett Hanger has over $100k on hand.
Scott Sayre has $31k on hand.
The winner of this primary will face Crozetian Arin Sime (L) – a good Q & A is here, and David Cox (D)
More information here; that candidates spend so much money on elections is shameful.
If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.
I’m not a republican so I won’t be voting for either Mr. Sayre or Mr. Hangar, but I’ve gotten 3x the junk from Mr. Sayre that I have from Mr. Hangar; guess Mr. Sayre spent his entire campaign budget on me.
Interesting. I received 5x as much from Mr. Hanger, although the “newspaper” that Mr. Sayre distributed on Sunday morning was interesting. Personally, I’m leaning towards voting for Arin Sime in the election, and Mr. Sayre in the primary.
