Congrat's!

Congratuations are in order for Chris Craddock who ousted liberal Republican Rep. Gary Reese, yesterday.

Chris is a true testimonial to the effectiveness of attending campaign training. He (along with his wife and his campaign manager) attended at least 3 different training programs I spoke at for The Leadership Institute and GOPAC (no telling how many other trainings he may have attended).

Here's how The Washington Post reported it:

In the 67th House District, which straddles Fairfax and Loudoun counties, Craddock successfully campaigned against Reese on such issues as taxes, abortion and same-sex marriage.

"I know [Reese] was one of the ones who voted to raise taxes. I thought that wasn't a good thing. We're Republicans -- that's not what we do," said 18-year-old Heather LeMunyon, a Craddock supporter, who was voting in her first election.
