So sorry to have missed Bob in NOVA today—eager to watch this campaign take shape, and I’ll be in Richmond in May as a delegate. Looks like you had a good turn-out, despite the nasty weather.
sure is a lot of traveling Bob! you are doing good pictures and i like to look at them!
it was great hearing you daughter speak Bob, i wish i could follow you around the state
These events are fun to follow on here since we cant go to all of them… some of us cant go to any of them.
It is refreshing to hear a candidate who puts political rhetoric aside and cares about Virginian families and the challenges we face as new immigrant Americans. Bob seemed genuine and I think he is the right home grown candidate who would best represent us.
