RGA Statement on Ed Gillespie’s Strong Debate Performance In Northern Virginia

WASHINGTON D.C. – The Republican Governors Association released the following statement praising Ed Gillespie’s strong performance in tonight’s Virginia gubernatorial debate in Northern Virginia:

“In tonight’s debate, Ed Gillespie demonstrated his clear vision to build a better future for Virginia and further showed that he is the only candidate in this race who will grow jobs and expand opportunity for all Virginians,” said RGA Executive Director Paul Bennecke. “While Ralph Northam doubled-down on his out-of-touch, left-wing policies that would only set the people of Virginia back, Ed highlighted his commitment to substantive policies that will improve the lives of working Virginians. As Ed’s campaign continues to gain clear momentum, with three new polls showing the race to be a dead heat, Virginia continues to be a prime pick-up opportunity for Republicans this November.”
