This is great news for Sen. Chuck Colgan:
Senate President John H. Chichester and Sen. H. Russell Potts will join several other GOP business and community leaders at an event to unveil "Republicans for Colgan."Colgan is facing a stiff challenge from Republican Bob FitzSimmonds. Last week, the Washington Post reported that Chichester has already donated to Colgan's campaign. In the article, Potts says he is backing Colgan because he thinks FitzSimmonds is "an extremist."
In addition to Chichester and Potts, Colgan has been endorsed by Mattie Parrish, widow of Republican State Delegate Harry Parrish. It's great to see that there are still some mainstream, commonsense Republicans in a party that has lurched far to the right in recent years.
