Including press releases, news articles, campaign blog posts, and featured blog posts http://www.billbolling.com/blog/post/1856 As you know, I have announced my intention to seek the Republican Party's nomination for Governor of Virginia in 2013. I am writing to ask for your support. Like you, my primary focus for the next six months will be on defeating Barack Obama, electing a Republican U.S. Senator in Virginia and re-electing our eight Republican Congressmen. However, we have elections every year in Virginia, which forces me to start laying the groundwork for my campaign for Governor now.
