Steve Thomas, Spotsylvania GOP committee head, has announced to Bearing Drift that he is filing his paperwork to represent the 56th District in the House of Delegates.
The seat has recently become vacant due to former Del. Bill Janis resigning and announcing his campaign this morning to seek the Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney position.
Thomas tells BD that his campaign already has a great deal of momentum, significant fundraising, and a laundry-list of endorsements.

My background in economics and ethics in particularly well suited to many of the conservative principles and ideas which I will share with the voters and in my campaign.”
