Richmond, VA – Today, the Republican Party of Virginia officially called for the resignation of Richmond Mayor, Levar Stoney, for the following reasons: Botched COVID-19 Response Stoney’s Coronavirus relief response is not guided by science, harms Richmond-area small businesses, and is not consistent with the rest of the Commonwealth. Mismanaged Riot Response Stoney has allowed rioters and looters to take control of Richmond and create a dangerous, authoritarian war-zone. While Stoney allowed rioters to congregate, he has not allowed Richmond citizens to sit inside restaurants. Stoney fired his police chief after weeks of hamstringing the Richmond Police Department and encouraging rioters by

Richmond, VA – The derelict leadership of Governor Ralph Northam and Richmond Mayor, Levar Stoney has forever changed how business will get done in the Commonwealth of Virginia. They have shown that all it takes for them to roll over and surrender is an outrage mob, setting a dangerous precedent for years to come. Allowing violent rioting and looting to take control of the Executive and Legislative branches of our government is an abdication of the duty that our elected officials owe to Virginia citizens to protect them from exactly this lawlessness. What sets this country apart from the rest of the
Richmond, VA – As the world has moved on to a new news cycle, so has Governor Ralph Northam. Last week, Northam offered approximately ten minutes of COVID-19 updates and did not give one update in his Thursday press conference as much of Virginia prepared to enter Phase 2 of his draconian plan. Does this signal the end of COVID-19? After all, many Democrat governors have ignored their own lock-down and social distancing guidelines in recent weeks: Whitmer Northam Lujan Grisham The Cuomo’s Beshear Pritzker Will Ralph Northam discuss COVID-19 in today’s press conference? Or will he continue to dangle statue removal in
The Democratic Party has officially turned the corner into full blown insanity, with the “Defund the Police” movement going from the radical fringes to a Democrat purity test almost overnight. The mayors of New York City and Los Angeles have promised to slash their police budgets amid violent riots and looting in their cities. And the Minneapolis City Council has gone even further, with a veto-proof majority of members pledging to eliminate the police entirely, and a member of the council telling residents that if their home is broken into in the middle of the night they should check their privilege. Yesterday, Jennifer Wexton appeared at a rally where protesters
Richmond, VA – After miserably mishandling Richmond’s COVID-19 and riot responses, Ralph Northam and Levar Stoney have decided it is time to divert attention from their derelict leadership. Cue statue removal. This is Northam and Stoney’s ploy to distract Virginia from their harmfully incompetent leadership over the past several months and especially the last several nights. No matter what you may think of tearing down monuments, the dynamic duo and the rest of the Virginia Democrats showed that they will not think twice about bending the knee to mob rule. On Tuesday, Northam’s press conference focused on race and the inequities faced by the
Richmond, VA – Yesterday, House Republican Leader C. Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah) and Senate Republican Leader Thomas K. Norment, Jr. (R-James City) issued the following statement: “Today, Governor Northam faced the people of Virginia for the first time since four days of protests, looting, and vandalism struck our cities. Hundreds of people were arrested after rioters did untold amounts of damage to homes, businesses, and public property. At the same time, otherwise peaceful protesters were tear-gassed for no reason. And the best our Governor could come up with was a half-hearted hope that people would stop being violent. “This Governor is so paralyzed by
Richmond, VA – This weekend, Ralph Northam and Levar Stoney allowed the Capital of Virginia to burn. It wasn’t until Sunday night, after two nights of vandalism and looting, that any action was taken. Conversely, Governor Northam declared a state of emergency and shut down Richmond two days *before* the Second Amendment protest in January. Both protests had peaceful intentions. Both protests were warranted. Both protests were responses to Democrat, big-government overreach in blue areas of the United States. Only one protest was portrayed as a violent insurgency of backward, undesirable Virginians by our Governor. (Hint: that “one protest” was in January.) RPV
Richmond, VA – Today, the Republican Party of Virginia called on Delegate Lee Carter (D-Manassas) to resign for abusing his power as an elected official in the Commonwealth of Virginia to bully and intimidate law enforcement officers and threaten to cut police budgets. RPV Chairman Jack Wilson released the following statement: “Delegate Carter has not only dishonored the memory of George Floyd, he has also cheapened any justice that his killer will face. The law enforcement officers in Manassas had nothing to do with the tragedy in Minnesota, and did not deserve to be screamed at and threatened by an elected
Richmond, VA – Republican Party of Virginia Chairman, Jack Wilson, issued the following statement in response to Governor Ralph Northam’s dictatorial mask mandate: “Governor Northam’s latest edict infringes on the freedoms and liberties of the citizens of Virginia. This nation was founded as a direct rebuttal of tyrannical, authoritarian rule from those who thought themselves suited to govern a land to which they had no real connection. Ralph Northam appears to have forgotten that. “Maybe our tune would be different if Governor Northam had not been caught just this weekend in a crowded public area with no mask and no regard for social
