Mid December Update 2022
"The time has come to dare to show the world that our civilized ideas, our traditions, our values, are not like the ideology and war machine of totalitarian societies, just a façade of strength. It is time for the world to know our intellectual and spiritual values are rooted in the source of all strength a belief in a supreme being and a law higher than our own." -President Ronald Reagan
Tracy and I are excited to have 3 of our 5 children coming home for Christmas. We wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah!

As a Navy SEAL and now member of the Virginia House of Delegates, I was honored to successfully carry HB1128 in 2022, a bill to reduce taxes on veteran retirement pay up to $40k. 

This success is nearly 30 years in the making, but there is more we must do for our veterans. I am now fighting to remove the age 55 requirement the state senate put on my bill in 2022 and I am happy Governor Youngkin put the money to do just that in the budget!

In addition to working with other legislators and preparing legislation for January, I am gearing up my campaign to be your next State Senator District 10. Learn more at www.mcguireforvirginia.com and
email john@mcguireforvirginia.com to volunteer, get a sign, and more. Please share!

Here is some of what I've been up to around the district and some of what's on my mind.
New Paint Job?
New paint job! This truck actually belongs to one of my supporters in Powhatan. What do you think?
TikTok Ban
Way to go governor Youngkin!  Our enemies are using these apps to spy on the American people and collect data. We should have banned apps like Tik Tok a long time ago!
Powhatan County Republican Committee Christmas Party
We made new friends at the Powhatan County Republican Committee Christmas Party at 3 Crosses Distillery in Downtown Powhatan. We honored and gave support to the Powhatan Christmas Mother, Cathy Ware. Fay Williamson, a VFRW past president, installed the Mill Quarter Republican Women’s Club 2023 Officers. We enjoyed meeting everyone and appreciate all you do to support our community!
A Good Dog
Casper, a 21-month-old Great Pyrenees (just like Remi) hopped a four-foot fence and killed eight of 11 coyotes on his property and chased away the rest. Five sheep were unharmed. Despite suffering life-threatening injuries in a Nov. 4 attack, Casper has recovered and returned home. The fearless sheepdog has emerged as a hero across the internet since his story was first reported by Decaturish. Click here
Fork Union Military Academy
Thank you Col David L. Coggins, USMC (Ret.) for allowing me to speak to the Fork Union Military Academy FUMA in Fluvanna County. This year this Christian school for boys celebrates 125 years of helping prepare young men for life and they do this without Govt Assistance. FUMA alum includes two Medal of Honor recipients, 117 NFL players, and two Heisman Trophy winners from Fort Union Military Academy! #GoFUMA #S10 #Virginia
Championship Bling!
It really is amazing what we can achieve when we put our differences aside, respect each other, and work as a team! We received a little “bling” from the State Champions! For 24 years, my day job is helping corporate/ athletic teams and individuals improve. It is an honor to play a part in many division one college and high school championships. While campaigning around the district a few folks asked me about my day job. Here is a recent video that might motivate you: Click here #proudtoserve #sd10
Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concert!
We had so much fun at the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concert! Mannheim Steamroller has sold over 41 million albums. The music industry told Chip, “Don’t do a Christmas album because that will signal the end of your career.” Mannheim Steamroller Christmas went on to sell five million copies after Chip produced it himself — and changed the sounds of Christmas music forever. Mannheim Steamroller is the #1 Christmas music artist of all times, selling over 31+ million albums. The second highest Christmas artist is Elvis Presley with 17 million albums.
VA State Capitol Christmas Tree Lighting
At the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Executive Mansion Tour 2022 Governor Youngkin said “I hope that we can all find a way to help one another this Christmas season - to show support and love to all of those who may be celebrating alone or away from family or serving our great country overseas,” Youngkin also said. “And in light of the tragic events over the last few weeks, may we all remember the departed and open our hearts to express love for the families of the victims in Chesapeake and in Charlottesville.” https://www.wric.com/.../gov-glenn-youngkin-lights.../
Bethlehem Walk 2022
Bethlehem Walk 2022. We experienced the Christmas Story live and in person! Since its inaugural season in 2003, Bethlehem Walk has thrilled and emotionally touched visitors from across the Commonwealth. Each December, Salem Baptist Church partners with various churches to reach thousands of people with this interactive Gospel drama that takes visitors through scenes ranging from the entrance of the Savior into the world to an empty Jewish tomb. https://bethlehemwalk.info
Louisa County Parks and Recreation Christmas Parade
The Louisa County Parks and Recreation did an incredible job with their Annual Christmas Festival & Parade. We enjoyed seeing everyone. Hooyah, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
Goochland Republican Women Club
Thank you Goochland Republican Women's club for all you do to support our community. We had a good time at your December 2022 Brunch.
Pearl Harbor Remembered
We attended the Beaverdam American Legion Post 90 Pearl Harbor Remembrance ceremony and Holiday Brunch in Hanover County where we remembered a day that will live in infamy and honored those who sacrificed all for freedom.
A Bad Deal
We are happy to have Griner home because she is an American Citizen, but why choose her over a US Marine who sacrificed for us and loves our country? Releasing “The Merchant of Death” will clearly get more people killed around the world.
Senator Amanda Chase’s Christmas Gala
Tracy and I had a good time at Senator Amanda Chase’s Christmas Gala. Senator Chase is an incumbent running for reelection in Senate District 12. Please ask friends to vote for her at the June 20 primary. Learn more at her website here https://chaseforsenate.com
Happy Birthday Governor Youngkin
We celebrated Governor Youngkin's birthday 9 December. He has put together an incredible team and is working hard to make Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Isn't it great we have a Republican Governor in Virginia who prays and genuinely supports parents, veterans, law enforcement, lower taxes and more!
General AP Hill
Are you sick of Cancel Culture in Richmond? The last confederate monument in Richmond, General AP Hill was removed. General AP Hill’s body was moved to a cemetery in Culpepper, VA. The family is suing to make sure the statue doesn’t end up at a water treatment plant like the other Confederate monuments. History should be taught not erased.  If leftist do not agree with a point of view, it must be silenced.  We have one party rule in our cities led by crooked politicians with a Marxist worldview who encourage or support anti-American propaganda. You must get involved and make your voice heard at the ballot box.
Hanover County GOP Christmas Party!
We had a wonderful time with friends at the Hanover County GOP Christmas Party! I really appreciate the shoutout from South Anna Supervisor Sue Dibble. We are making friends all over the New Senate District 10!
Goochland High School Veterans Project
Thank you to the Goochland High School Veterans Project for all you do to support our veterans. Fellow Veterans, and I had a great time at your holiday party and we enjoyed talking with teachers and students.
Lunch Smokin' Eddies BBQ
We stopped by Smokin' Eddies BBQ in Louisa County where we ran into some wonderful people!
Powhatan Christmas Parade
My wife Tracy and I enjoyed meeting so many people at the Powhatan Christmas parade. Our polar bear Remington was a huge hit!
We had so much fun at the Powhatan County Christmas Parade. Thank you to all our volunteers who shook hands, handed out signs, and wished everyone a Merry Christmas!
RIP Delegate Ronnie Campbell
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and fellow Delegate Ronnie Campbell of Rockbridge County. He spent his whole life in service to others; mostly as a law-enforcement officer, school board member, board of supervisors, and as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Because he was so genuine, I always called him the real deal. It was an honor to work with you Ronnie and you will be missed. Tracy and I are sending prayers to your family.
Louisa GOP Meeting/ Christmas Party
We had a good time at the Louisa GOP Meeting/ Christmas Party. Thank you to everyone for your hard work on the 2022 elections!
Appomattox County Promises Kept!
Appomattox County: We attended the VMF https://www.vametalfab.com Open House with Governor Youngkin, other elected officials, and citizens of Appomatox County. We celebrated Virginia Metalfab on their company expansion to the old Thomasville Building on Founders Lane in Appomattox! Governor Youngkin announced that Virginia MetalFab will invest $9 million to expand to the larger facility and the project will create 130 new jobs over the next three years. "The spirit of Virginia is alive and well," Youngkin said. "And it just brings such joy to see it alive and well here in Appomattox." We took a tour of the old 250,000-square-foot building and spoke with employees excited with hope for the future!
Delegate Buddy Fowler Meet & Greet Louisa County
We packed the house in Louisa County to help conservative Delegate Buddy Fowler get re-elected. Thank to our supporters and thank you Smokin' Eddies BBQ for the delicious food!
Monte W. Mayes Appomattox County
There is a lot of history and some amazing people in Senate District 10. Thank you Monte Mays for the history lesson and advice. It will be an honor to continue service as your next state senator!

Alyssa Chalifoux
Delegate Les Adams
National Committee man Morton Blackwell endorsed John McGuire for state senate

Appomattox High School Government Class
The Appomattox Mayor Rick Connor and I answered questions and spoke with students and teachers at the Appomattox High School
Government class. We spoke on the importance of preserving our Constitutional Republic, why Democrats joined the Republican Party in droves for President Reagan, local, state federal issues, my role as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, and my experience as a Navy SEAL. We loved seeing patriotism promoted around the school. Thank you to all our educators for all you do to prepare our young people for life!

Many fellow legislators and I attended the holiday cheer party with Governor Youngkin and first lady Suzanne Youngkin at the executive mansion. Governor Youngkin spoke on unity and hope for the future in 2023. He also wished everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holiday!
Vulnerable Power Stations
It is clear our energy sources are vulnerable and we really need to step up security for our substations and other vital infrastructure around our country.

CARTHAGE, N.C. (AP) — Tens of thousands of people braced for days without electricity in a North Carolina county where authorities say two power substations were shot up by one or more people with apparent criminal intent. Click here.
