Chris Peace for Delegate in the 97th - Special Election 1-24-06

Best of luck to Republican candidate Chris Peace in the special election tomorrow to replace Ryan (now Senator) McDougle in the House of Delegates.

Neither Chris nor his opponent Dem. John Montgomery (the Game & Fish guy who charged the taxpayers for a Safari Club Trip to Reno, Nev.) have held elected office before and that has made for a bit of added interest.

At a Peace meet and greet this weekend in Caroline Coounty, Chris was energetic and on message. His down-to-earth common sense puts people at ease. They seem to be comfortable approaching him which I think is a great asset for an office holder.

More important than his personality is his strong stand on conservative issues. Keeping taxes low will always resonate with voters. I also like his take on protecting the vulnerable in our society, especially children.
