| I haven't looked up the numbers but my impression is that he wins primaries and reelections easily and is popular in his district. Is that not the case? |
So he should’ve set metrics that specify when mask mandates stop and when they can go back. But instead he banned them based on article he read in a magazine. This is not a serious man trying to help his district. He just wants attention. |
I don’t think he has had primary challengers. |
What are the registration deadlines? |
Exactly. |
| We've voted for so many progressives in Fairfax county that a center-left moderate looks like Attila the Hun. |
|
A moderate Dem for once!...and his fellow Dems want to recall him.
You guys really are crazy (left). |
Good luck with that!!! |
If no one is challenging him in primaries, you know he's popular and wins easily. |
How are metrics going to change when everyone can eat out at any restaurant, drink in any bar, go on any holiday - even cruises! - go to the Super Bowl or the Wizards game unmasked - how do you think metrics are going to change? Why are schools the only covid mitigation measure left in this state? |
It's the same strategy the Rs undertook more than a decade ago. Next thing you know, Chap will be a DINO and there will be DINO Hunters supporting primary challengers for anyone incumbent that strays from whatever the progressive orthodoxy is. |
Or he has skated by in the past by pretending to be a D. |
Those are all optional activities run by private businesses. FWIW I do think masking should be required in those places too. School is mandatory. He's a DB for pulling this political stunt. |
|
He's one of the original co-sponsors of the original bill that was later hijacked by Northam to become the "mask mandate".
So you liked him then, but not now? |
Either there is a pandemic or there is not a pandemic. It's not ok to say that all the nonessential activities in the state can be open but schools - arguably the most important thing in a society - need to bear the brunt of all those recreational activities. It's irresponsible to make learning more difficult so businesses can be open and parents and teachers drink at the bar. |
