![]() Nancy Guy, a Democrat who took office two years ago. Political newcomer Anderson, 47, defeated freshman Del. (Recall that the Virginia GOP recently censured, and ultimately ousted Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman just for officiating a gay wedding.) This should be a fun and interesting primary to watch, with neither candidate quite fitting into the mold of the Virginia GOP.Tim Anderson will represent Norfolk and Virginia Beach residents in the 83rd district - flipping the House seat back to Republican control after just one term under Democrats. Interdicting and treating these individuals is how to have a productive society.”Ĭurrently there are two people running for the Republican nomination, Anderson and Phil Kazmierczak, a gay, Trump-supporting realtor from Virginia Beach. Arresting and Jailing individuals with drug problems is not the answer. ![]() He says “the government at the federal and state level has completely and totally neglected the mental health crisis.” And thinks “the United States over criminalizes its population,” and that “the War on drugs is a complete and total failure. He supports DACA, but also tightening the borders. He supports a public health insurance option ( “I believe we should have a private party health insurance network but if you are unable to afford The premium then you should be allowed to buy into a national healthcare program through the government.“). If you are going to college and the government is paying for it then you should have to work in public service for a number of years to pay back the government.” Sounds a lot like Governor Northam’s G3 plan!).
