Steve Thomas Declines Filing in VA-03; Chuck Smith is Presumptive Nominee
By D.J. Spiker | Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 | PoliticsIssued from Steve Thomas today:
Over the past several months, I have talked with numerous Virginians about the troubling direction of our country. From these onversations, I decided to explore the opportunity of running for the Third Congressional District Republican nomination; my goals being to correct the course of our country, expand our party and build on the momentum Governor McDonnell provided in 2009.
I received support from across the district and looked forward to a thorough and complete nomination process. After much discussion with my family and with the interests of the Party in mind, I have decided not to file and run for the District nomination.
In doing so, it will give our presumptive nominee additional time to put together a better chance at financially and logistically defeating the incumbent. However, I look forward to continuing to work within our District and around Richmond to continue expanding the Party and continuing the work we have started.
Steve Thomas
After having a number of conversation with Steve over the past week, Steve has a bright political future ahead of him, with 2011 foremost on the horizon.

I very much wish to second DJ’s observation that Steve Thomas has a very bright future in politics. I was most impressed with him at the Portsmouth Mass Meeting on Tuesday April 20, 2010.
I wish to thank Steve Thomas publicly for assisting all of us in the Third to ensure that we retire Bobby Scott in November and send our representative, Chuck Smith, to properly serve the interests of the Third Congressional District of Virginia.
Steve did an excellent job and I know many that are proud of his efforts. His political future is indeed bright and I for one will be ready to assist in any way that I can.
As with the 2008 GOP Presidential Primary, it now is down to one: Chuck Smith. As I stated on previous blog entries, he will soon be our nominee (officially May 22nd) and he has my full support. We may have our disagreements as to who the nominee should be but when that person is selected we should rally behind them 100%. We support the party and our platform just as much as the nominee. Now we march on to the November Elections with one sole purpose in mind – - – Electing Chuck Smith!
