There is work to be done on behalf of the people of the 56th district. We count on the legislators that we send to Richmond to do that work for us.
Louisa County’s current delegate, John McGuire, has made it abundantly clear that the people of the 56th district are not of interest to him. As evidenced by a recently released voicemail, he sees himself in Washington, not Richmond. In a message left for a big money Texas donor, Del. McGuire describes him[1]self as a “potential nominee for a top-five congressional seat — VA-07.”
It’s the same thing he did in 2020 when he tried to win the nomination for congressman, but failed. You can’t be in two places at once. You can’t do a good job when your heart and head are somewhere else. We have an alternative. We can elect Blakely Lockhart this November. She is rooted solidly in our district, and dedicated to serving its people. Let McGuire pursue his dreams elsewhere. We have work to do here.
