RPV Chairman Jack Wilson issued this email last night, following the meeting of the 97 Legislative District Committee on Wednesday evening:
|
“I have been inundated by emails and calls from across Virginia regarding events happening in the 97th House of Delegates District. Like you, I am extremely displeased with how the events in the 97th LDC have unfolded over the course of the last few weeks. Tonight, the 97th Legislative District Committee passed a motion canceling the convention scheduled for this Saturday. Under the Party Plan, the Legislative District Committee, not the Chairman of the Committee, has jurisdiction over the Party nominating process in the 97th House of Delegates district. I make no judgment on whether the decision was proper. There is an appeals process in our governing document and the Party will observe this process going forward. Accordingly, the convention will be removed from RPV’s website.
This email is in no way intended to endorse or rebuke either candidate or their campaign. The Republican Party of Virginia is strictly neutral in such matters and believes those Republicans in the 97th have the responsibility to elect their nominee in accordance with the Party Plan.”
