Virginians are lucky to have a candidate like Michael McPadden in Congressional District 5, a conservative rural district currently represented by Thomas Perriello (D). Mr. McPadden is locked in an 8-way primary which will end when Republican primary voters decide who to nominate to face Perriello in November.

McPadden is a leader, a military veteran, and a father. He has been married for 30 years and has a distinguished career.

He is also an expert on the Constitution. At his website, he explains, “Our campaign has a few core principles that we will never compromise on … Our vision is liberty; Our philosophy is the Declaration of Independence; and our model for government is the Constitution.”

McPadden’s issues page explains that he supports individual liberty, limited government, sound money, and the rule of law. How refreshing!

Virgil Goode would be proud of a candidate like Michael McPadden. The Virginia RLC is, too, so we’re supporting his bid to win the June 8 primary.
