Cox Welcomes Snyder To The Race; Pushes Back Against Democratic Control

Ready to read a classy statement, one professional to another?  Read this as former Speaker Kirk Cox welcomes Pete Snyder to the GOP gubernatorial race:

“I’d like to welcome Pete to the 2021 gubernatorial race. I know Pete has long wanted to get back into the public arena after his 2013 campaign for Lt. Governor. It is my firm belief that competition is a good thing, foundational to the success of our representative democracy. I look forward to a robust discussion in which Virginia Republicans can choose the candidate capable of unifying the party and providing the experience we desperately need in order to fight back, lead forward, and win in 2021.”

Wait — they’re not calling each other names??!

Well of course not.  It’s a convention.  Which means that you want to go into the campaign everyone’s #2 and just enough #1 in order to get you past the first round… and then the second… and then the third… and then to victory.

Pretty classy move, right?  Game meets game.

Meanwhile, Cox didn’t waste a second taking the wood to the Democrats and the Northam-McAuliffe agenda of higher taxes, firearm confiscation, and a sour economy made worse by Northam’s bungling on COVID.

Give it a listen.  Nice to see grown ups in the race for governor.

BREAKING: Pete Snyder Enters The Race For Governor

It was an announcement that most Virginia Republicans were expecting.

Disruptor Capital CEO and former New Media Strategies chief Pete Snyder — whose impressive dark horse bid for lieutenant governor nearly captured the GOP nod in 2013 — has finally made it official with a positive and hopeful introduction to the race.

Snyder hasn’t been sleeping over the last eight years.  As a former RPV Victory Chairman and consistent GOP donor, Snyder also helped kickstart the Virginia 30 Day fund at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, raising over $35 million dollars and helping 2,500 save over 20,000 jobs.

…and did we mention his side gig as a world championship certified BBQ judge?

Snyder enters an increasingly crowded field for the GOP nod for governor, but with a unique brand of his own that appeals to conservatives worn down by the previous eight years, Snyder has the ability to self-fund and carry the fight straight into the teeth of the Democrats.

Snyder’s Big Ideas

Snyder is focusing on three short-term goal with long-term implications: reopening Virginia’s public schools, saving and jumpstarting small businesses, and the more vaguely put “restore and respect our freedoms” — which might sound like a cagey way of a return to dignity and normalcy, but one that works for the sole reason that it’s a vision for the future.

In short, Snyder’s focus is on education, economy, and making Virginia safe for entrepreneurship again.  Sounds like a great plan.
