Forbes Thanks Voters After Falling Short in 2nd District

Congressman Randy Forbes was a casualty of the 2016 congressional redistricting in Tuesday’s Republican primary. Delegate Scott Taylor picked up the GOP nomination for the 2nd District. Tuesday night Forbes issued the following:

“To serve this Commonwealth, our men and women in uniform, and my home, has been a high privilege. To each who have stood by us and partnered with us, I am blessed by your friendship and encouragement. We have had a vision for this region, for rebuilding our military, and for defending religious liberty, and while perhaps not embraced by voters tonight, we hope nonetheless will be the path forward for our nation and our region.”

Many thanks to Congressman Forbes for his many years of service to the citizens of Virginia and America. When a door closes, a window opens. It is fairly certain he will soon find that open window.
