First Chris Stuart…now Chad Green:
Seaford Attorney Chad Green will seek the Republican nomination for the House of Delegates seat vacated by Tom Gear this past week.
A lifelong resident of the peninsula and a fifth generation resident of York County, Green serves as Second Vice-Chairman of the York County Republican party, and believes common sense conservative leadership is exactly what is needed in Richmond.
“The best way to understand what someone will do in office is to examine what that person has already done. I believe the House of Delegates is more about public service than political service.”
Green has been heavily involved in the peninsula, serving as President-elect of the Grafton Kiwanis Club, member of the Lafayette Gun Club, a lifetime member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the York County Waterways Alliance, Ducks Unlimited, the Coastal Conservation Alliance, and a member of the board of directors of Victory YMCA, the Boy Scouts, the Virginia Living Museum, Southeast Community Day Planning Committee, and Vice-Chairman of the York County 4th of July Committee.
Green has coached high school basketball and has served on the Advisory Board for the York County Superintendent of Education, and is a member of the York Foundation for Public Education.
According to Green, his involvement in so many organizations has taught him a great deal about the role of government in our private lives.
“Government has its place, but that place is to take care of its basic responsibilities without invading into our private, daily lives. We need to strike the right balance between government and private solutions.
A few miles up the road in Washington, our current President and his allies have expanded their power as never before. The government is becoming larger, yet our nation is becoming weaker. Green also believes that the US Constitution means what it says, and should not be tread upon.
Having the right leadership in Richmond is more important now than ever before. We have an excellent Governor, but he needs strong conservative leadership in the House of Delegates and that is where I can help.”
Green believes our delegate should work hard to represent the entire district, and not just certain areas. Green will provide leadership driven by vision, along with conservative principles and values.
I’ll be speaking with as many candidates as I can to find out more about them and report back to you. Especially since I’m also writing a Daily Press column about them. 😉
