Jim Hoeft
Conservative to the core; liberal with his opinion! Jim has been involved in politics for over a decade and has worked on several campaigns in Hampton Roads. He has served on the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Chesapeake and the Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia. He is also the director of “Blogs United” in Virginia. E-mail Jim.
Brian Kirwin
The right wants to jeer him. The left wants to censor him. Moderates usually want both. Brian Kirwin is a political consultant and public relations strategist in Virginia Beach with a lightning-rod flair. Brian also serves on the VB Arts & Humanities Commission and frequently appears on Hampton Roads theatrical stages, if only to prove that all actors aren’t liberals. Kirwin’s columns stir up debate and hit the political scene with no punches pulled. E-mail Brian.
Brian also blogs at Reagan’s GOP.
Norman Leahy
Norman Leahy is vice president for public affairs at Tertium Quids, a conservative, nonprofit advocacy organization. He’s still recovering from a bad case of anti-Potomac Fever, having been infected with the condition while working for the Cato Institute, the Drug Policy Foundation, Citizens for Congressional Reform and U.S. Term Limits.
He is a graduate of Colorado College, Johns Hopkins University and was a 2006 Fellow at the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership. E-mail Norm.

Chris Obenshain
Chris Obenshain has been involved in Republican politics literally since the womb, when he attended Virginia’s famous 1978 Convention in utero. 30 years later he still can’t get politics out of his bloodstream. He currently works as a lawyer in southwest Virginia and serves as Chairman of the Roanoke Area Young Republicans chapter. As Old Zach, he helped found the blog Sic Semper Tyrannis in 2004 and has been blogging off and on ever since. He has also proudly served in the United States Army Reserve since 2002. E-mail Chris.

Jane Dudley
Jane Dudley has enjoyed conservatism and photography for over 30 years. After looking around at the mediocre state of affairs of political photography as it exists on the right, she decided to start making better images, to document Virginia Republicans and to inspire them to make more of an effort to put a fine face on their fine ideas. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia and works in new media. She is also an associate member of ASMP. E-mail Jane.
Jane also blogs at Conservativa.
De Civitate Hominis (concerning the city of man)
DCH blogs from a Northern Virginia perspective and has been active in various levels of Republican politics since 1994 - as a grassroots volunteer, party leader, and professional.
