State Sen. Ken Stolle’s senate seat won’t be vacant until he wins election in November as Virginia Beach’s next sheriff, but already this coveted Senate seat is drawing some fierce competition between Jeff McWaters, a local businessman and Rosemary Wilson, Virginia Beach councilwoman.
The nomination fight (which we still don’t know whether it will be mass meeting, primary, canvass, et al.) recently gained some attention with a Facebook attack on McWaters.
According to VPAP, McWaters once gave $500 to Democrat Anthony Williams campaign for DC mayor and Pilot on Politics reported that he gave a $225 gift to then Gov. Mark Warner. Other than that, he’s donated over $100k to Republican causes.
Let’s hope this campaign, as it moves forward, sticks to the issues and doesn’t devolve into pettiness.
