My opponent
My opponent seems to be a very nice person. I have met him once for breakfast and he was not clear in communicating to me anything that he differed with me on.
I do consider a man's word, pledge, verbal and written statements to be of great value. I consider honesty and integrity at the top of character traits. In following the timeline below - My opponent signed a pledge on May 16th - that I believed he never intended on fulfilling when he signed it. I believe a man's word is worth something.
My opponent first announced his candidacy for the Courtland District on May 5th, 2015 when he spoke in support of government funding of the baseball stadium. Click here for his announcement.
Speaking of new revenue sources - see LIDL and Race Track as well as Marine Corps System's Command and a Veterans Administration Health Care Center for Spotsylvania as examples of new revenue sources and professional jobs I've produced and or am working on under the "jobs" tab.
Eleven days later - on May 16th, 2015 after already announcing his candidacy - my opponent attended the Spotsylvania County Republican Mass meeting, declaring himself a Virginia Republican and signing his name to a form that in clear black and white stated, "I intend to support the Republican nominees in the November 3, 2015 General Election." The image at the right shows his signature on the form.
And then sometime between May 16th and June 9th, my opponent turned in his paperwork to run for the same seat he had signed to "support the Republican nominee" for (me) - which clearly he did not do.
If he can't honor his written and signed word - I must ask - what can he honor? Can he be trusted?
On July 31st, 2015, the Rappahannock Baseball Initiative (RBI), a pro-public funding of a $30M baseball partnership lobby group posted to Facebook that they were taking a break until after the November Elections.
On August 1st, 2015, Jeff Branscome wrote the article - "Proposed baseball stadium deal in Spotsylvania off the table for now"
From the story, "The chance of any future discussions of a publicly financed baseball stadium may hinge on the results of the Nov. 3 election. Courtland District Supervisor David Ross - who opposes a taxpayer-funded stadium - is being challenged by Joseph Kingman, who in May expressed some support for the project"

Does the public funding of baseball rest on the Courtland board of supervisor's race? - you be the judge . . . .
