By JR Hoeft | Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 | PoliticsAt a public forum on the Eastern Shore, Del. Lynwood Lewis (D-100), was asked a question by a voter about where his campaign contributions come from. Lewis quipped that the man probably fell asleep during accounting class.

This remark was to my husband, Billy Graham. Billy went back to his source, redid the math, found the same “mathematics”. He sent this to the local papers, proving it was Lewis’ math that was faulty. Neither paper would publish his reply. Thank you for this post.
Lynwood is corrupt, accepting money for votes, influence and to remain a professional politician. Not that he is alone in the political theatre, or not that any of us would not also be, once in the position. But that is exactly the reason to turn over the position to someone else.
I am the one who at that meeting asked if he believed there were illegal immigrants in Accomack Co and what has he done about it. I asked it to put him on the spot. The soundbite (Democrat) answer of course is pass off the blame to “federal responsibility,” -I’m sure they are all told to say that, to put blame out of reach. And which is being countered in various places across the country, including Virginia.
Lynwood gets significant donations from Jimmy Lunn, owner of the Dreamland’s. He is part of the lawyer/judge cabal in Accomack County, which is one of the most corrupt localities we have lived in. Here.
Lynwood’s father Wayne farmed my property. I know Lynwood and have used him as an attorney. I will say this publicly.
Mr. Lewis is not only a full-blown LIAR! He is blatantly insulting and
snide to the Eastern Shore constituant who called him on his outright
falsification to avoid any real accountability. If he does not respect other people–how can you respect him?
This is one of the most hypocritical posts that I’ve seen. If you look at Ms. Scalley’s report almost all of her money has not come from the district and on top of that it has come from Republican partisan groups. Is she really as independent minded as she claims.. or in the pockets of Republicans, and not even Republicans in her district.
As far as Delegate Lewis’s report goes. I know for a fact he does not solicit money locally in off years. If you look at his reports this summer until now…when he actually started actively raising money for this campaign…most of his money did come from the Eastern Shore. Most of his contributors were people that contributed $100 or less which shows grassroots support. Delegate Lewis doesn’t ask small businesses and grassroots supporters for money when he is not up for re-election, and in this economy, I think that can be appreciated.
