Peter Farrell GOP nominee in the 56th District
By JR Hoeft | Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011 | Catch-AllFour panelists unanimously chose Peter Farrell to be the Republican nominee to replace Bill Janis in the 56th District today.
While there were six candidates interested in the race, ultimately Farrell won the nod.
Perhaps his closest competitor, Spotsylvania GOP Committee Chair Steve Thomas, issued the following statement:
“While I am disappointed not to win, Peter is certainly an energetic, savvy businessman I can get behind,” said Thomas. “Governor McDonnell has much work to do, and Virginia’s economy still needs work. I will work with Peter to strengthen our economy, lessen regulation and protect agriculture. He has my full and unconditional support as our future Delegate.”

Steve Thomas issued the following statement, “My dad is not CEO of Dominion Power and Peter’s dad is.”
Now is not the time to be divide but to come together and keep our majority in the House and win back the Senate. Let’s put the in-fighting down until after the elections in November. Steve is a class guy all the way and endorsed Peter. Steve has a great future as a elected down the road. Let’s give Peter all the support he needs to keep that seat in Republican hands now and in the future as well.
