John McGuire for Senate District 10 |
|
In case you missed it, I announced my candidacy for the Senate of Virginia's 10th District for 2023. Redistricting has moved me away from almost everyone I’ve represented in the House of Delegates. Senate District 10 will allow me to continue to serve you and thousands of other friends and constituents who I’ve served over the last five years. I’ve included my statement, the new Virginia State Senate District 10 map, and a list of D10 counties. This is a plus 30 Republican district with no incumbent. The green area outlined on the map is over 50% of the district, and it shows areas which I have represented and/or campaigned in for years. I would love to meet with you, hear your concerns, earn your endorsement, and your vote. Email john@mcguireforvirginia.com Please share!

Evil does exist. Russia invaded Ukraine Thursday morning, and many innocent people are suffering or dying as a result. There are 23,000 Americans still in Ukraine. Despite the odds, the people of Ukraine are fighting back. Perhaps Americans are waking up and realizing that Trump policies which Biden has rejected, such as strengthening our military, securing our southern border, holding our allies accountable, making America energy independent, etc., are incredibly good ideas that lead to a safer world after all. Stay vigilant, and please pray for Ukraine! |

General Janice Igou introduced me to one her fellow Hanover Veterans Bobby Parrish who served in the Navy aboard the U.S.S. Isherwood Destroyer (DD-520). Thank you for your service! |

Future Farmers of America (FFA) Week |
|
This is National FFA week. We must encourage efforts to help young people get into agriculture. The average age of a farmer today is 60 years old. The National FFA Organization was actually started here in Virginia and they are celebrating their 97th year this year. FFA Promotes career success and personal growth through work-based learning in agricultural education. They currently have over 220 local chapters, 330 Agricultural teachers, close to 10,000 FFA Members, and serve over 32,000 students in Agricultural classes across the state. Our local chapters range from the most rural areas to urban centers and private schools. If you ask around in the House and Senate, you’ll find a great number of former FFA Members who attribute much of their success to the Blue FFA jacket. Thank you for all that you do to support farmers, and for helping to prepare our young people for life! |

Established in 1936, YRFV is a political grassroots organization of individual YRs chapters that lead recruitment and volunteer efforts across the Commonwealth on behalf of Republican candidates. |
