U.S. CONGRESS

THE HONORABLE DENVER RIGGLEMAN Veteran Between 1992 and 1996, Denver served in the United States Air Force (USAF) as a C-141 Starlifter enlisted avionics technician at McGuire AFB, New Jersey. Denver was awarded a scholarship to the University of Virginia in 1996. He graduated in 1998 and then subsequently served as a commissioned officer with the 366th Fighter Wing and 34th Bomb Squadron at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho and in the National Security Agency (NSA) at Fort Meade, Maryland. Small Businessman Denver Riggleman and his wife, Christine, dreamed for years of starting their own distillery, and in 2013 built, and now operate, Silverback Distillery in Afton, Virginia. Denver and his wife currently distill and distribute Gin, Vodka and Whiskeys. Denver has also been CEO of several defense contracting companies. Denver and Christine understand what it takes to run a small competitive family business in a tough regu- latory environment. Educational Achievements Denver earned an A.A. from Burlington County College in 1996, an A.A.S. degree in Avionics Systems from the Community College of the Air force in 1996, a BA (with Distinction) in Foreign Affairs from the Universi- ty of Virginia in 1998 and a Masters Certificate in Program Management from Villanova in 2007. Native Virginian Denver Riggleman was born in Virginia and grew up in Manassas. Denver graduated from Stonewall Jack- son High school in 1988, where he played football. In 1989, he married his wife, Christine, who attended high school at Osbourn High School, also in Manassas. Denver and Christine live in Nelson County and have three children, Lauren, Abigail, and Lillian. National Security Background After serving as a multi-intelligence officer (weaponeering and targeting) for the USAF, Denver was posted to the National Security Agency in 2003, where he supported science and technology development, opera- tional analysis, joint special project support, and Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) activities. In 2007, he co-founded Analyst Warehouse LLC (AWL) to provide intelligence consulting to the NSA, Services and other government agencies (OGA). From Congressman’s Website A VIEW OF DENVER RIGGLEMAN LIFE BEFORE, DURING AND INCLUDING CONGRESS

Denver is truly a “pull oneself up by the boots” person – someone whose own determination led him from having lived a rather impoverished life to a scholarship to UV A (where he was a Distinguished Graduate – ROTC and received an award for “Leadership, Dedication, and Intellectual Curiosity”) to a military career with expanded top secret security clearance (SCI/TK, Full Scope Polygraph)s . He served in war zones and excelled in aspects of military intelligence – working in counter-terrorism and counter-IEDs. He was involved in Operation Allied Force, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He served as a consultant to the Office of The Secretary of Defense, an NSA Project Officer, a Systems Engineer, and the list goes on. He also owned and later sold his own military intelligence-related businesses – all before his election to Con- gress. Among his next ventures was assisting his wife in fulfilling her dream – creating the distillery she now owns and operates in Nelson County. (During this process, Denver earned a “PhD” in dealing with govern- mental red tape and odious elements in the regulated economy.) These pre-Congress professional credentials and successes led him to a plum assignment on the House Finance Committee where he brings his knowledge of business, money and expertise in tracking ter- rorists to continue fighting international terrorism. His outgoing personality has led him to be tapped as an Assistant Whip and to be selected for others assignments outside his normal duties to us in the Fifth District because his skills were “needed”. He is on any number of caucuses, including the Freedom Caucus (according to Ballotpedia) and on a Freshman Working Group on Addiction to address the influx of metham- phetamines, cocaine and heroin into the 5th District, among other places, courtesy of the cartels in Mexico (some of which have a stranglehold in Henry County). Because of the COVID-19 situation, Denver is an active member of the Small Business Working Groups and was recently appointed as one of the fifteen members of the China Task Force—a selection made because of his experience in cybersecurity and military intelligence. He has stunned me with his energy, his resolve, his wishes to serve the 5th District’s constituents, and his abilities and creativity in how to get things done. So, if a person uses personal initiative, it’s easy to go on- line or get e-mails from the office by signing up – and learn a great deal about what Denver is doing for us. Denver works to bring broadband to a larger portion of the 5th, extending the area for increased law enforcement working on internal “drug corridors”, helping farmers get the workforce they need to grow crops or raise livestock, figuring out how to get assistance to replace a 1908 sewer system, donating his salary to a firehouse damaged by weather. On the matter of the President, isn’t it curious that Congressman Riggleman was asked to file President Trump’s papers in Virginia AND is co-chair of his campaign as well as being endorsed by him. See next page for more details on endorsements, assignments, ratings. ENDORSEMENTS, RATINGS, CAUCUSES AND MORE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP

“Congresman @Denver4VA Riggleman is a true CONSERVATIVE leader who has done a great job for Virginia and will support our #MAGA Agenda. He defends our right to bear arms, protect our Borders & help small businesses. Denver has my Total Endorsement!”

HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIRMAN, ANDY BIGGS “ I am happy to endorse my friend Congressman Denver Riggleman, for reelection. Denver has fought together with the Freedom Caucus on the issues that matter most and has always stood up for Ameri- cans’ Constitutional rights.” “True patriot...secure our border, keep our national debt in check, and our economy strong…. [I}deal representative for Virginia’s Fifth District”.

CONGRESSMAN JIM JORDAN, Ranking Member, Committee on Oversight and Reform; Committee on Oversight and Reform; Committee on the Judiciary; Member, Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet; Member, Subcommittee on the Con- stitution and Civil Justice. “I am calling today to ask you to vote for my dear friend, Denver Riggleman. I’ve liked Denver ever since we first met, and he’s been fighting in the trenches with the Freedom Caucus ever since. He has been strong on immigration and border wall funding and supports our pro-life values. I am proud to add my name next to PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP on the list of strong conservatives who support Denver. Thank you, and remember to vote for Denver Riggleman on June 13!

(continued)

Daniel L. Rutherford is a multi-generation Virginian who is the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Nelson County and a candidate for the Chair of the 5th Congressional District Republican Committee. Because his accomplishments are many, summarizing them for your consideration will not be easy. Graduating from the University of Virginia (2003) at the age of 19 with a BA in Foreign Affairs, Daniel went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Regent University School of Law. Upon graduation in May 2007, he opened his own law practice in Lovingston where he conducted civil and criminal litigation, represented clients in family law matters, and served as Guardian ad litem for children and incapacitated adults, among other legal matters. His service to his country in the military began in 2010 when he commissioned as a First Lieutenant in the Army Judge Advocate General Corps Reserve Component. First serving as Trial Defense Counsel, then Chief of Military Justice for the 415th Chemical Brigade. Daniel now serves as a special victim’s counsel for victims of sexual assault, and is a Major. Born on a farm in Shipman, he and his wife, Kate, rear their four children on Rooted and Grounded Farm in Afton (taken from Ephesians 3: 17-19), where he plows and they raise veggies, potatoes and cattle (according to his Christmas letter which he kindly provided us) and homeschool their four children – 3 boys and a girl. Always room for more, they also had twin one-year-old foster children. In his spare time, he gives through community involvement – Nelson County Food Pantry; S.A.L.T. – Triad Coun- sel (senior safety); Senior Advisory Committee; American Legion Post Judge Advocate and more. His hobbies? “Whatever my children’s hobbies are!” Not only quite intelligent, he’s also very capable, so why would he want to take on the challenge of leadership in the 5th District? First, he is no stranger to politics in the 5th – having run a successful campaign for CA in “purple” Nelson County in 2016 and served as Sergeant at Arms in the June 2018 selection of Congressman Denver Riggleman. He also answered the question quite candidly when he acknowledged that he could stay in his “bubble” in Nelson County but instead saw the need to “grow the party and win elections”. To him, this required someone willing to “work”; “spend less time playing internal politics”; that “no one…’leans on the scales’ for one candidate or another”; and to avoid processes that “disenfranchise” citizens by leaving important decisions to a select few. He experienced this first-hand in the military, when thousands of those – including active duty, reservists, national guard – were exclud- ed by virtue of a convention. Daniel Rutherford is well qualified for the job of 5th District Chairman. He won’t lead through division and wants to see Republican principles “thrive, not retreat”.

I have enclosed a resume of my political activities which I hope will provide insight as to my conservative involvement over the years. I have been very active in the Republican Party and conservative movement. Whether in a capacity of volunteer work, a paid campaign staff position or political appointment, I am and always have been a dedicated worker and am an ardent believer in conservative principles. I believe that my experience in working within and for our Party lends me a unique view of the political spectrum, as well as presents the type of credentials which should enable me to represent you, my fellow 5th District Republican.

I want the opportunity to help influence the direction the state party takes and to ensure that the interests of the 5th District are well represented. As your representative, I have endeavored to represent your views at the State Central Committee (SCC) meetings. We all have not always held the same view on some issues, and not always supported the same candidate for our party’s nomination, but we have worked together in the end to support the nominees selected by our conventions and primaries.

I have held to my conservative principles, always with a commitment to what I believe is the right thing to do, not “selling out” or “going along” for political expediency.

I have taken seriously the privilege of being your representative at State Central Committee meetings and have missed only one (1) of the quarterly meetings in the past twelve (12) years. For this meeting, I ensured the district’s representation by sending a proxy. I believe that it is every State Central Committee member’s responsibility to attend every meeting, and if attendance is not possible, I believe that it is the member’s responsibility to ensure that a (solid conservative) proxy is confirmed and counted.

I am a strong advocate for transparency within our Party and with actions taken by the State Central Committee (SCC). If you attended our 5th Congressional District convention in 2016, my SCC newsletter has been emailed to you within 48 hrs. of each meeting. As you know, I have faithfully kept you apprised of each SCC meeting and have communicated with you promptly following each SCC meeting.

Aside from my political activity, I, currently, am Director of Piedmont Court Services which is based in Farmville, Va. Since January 1990, I have managed this local Renee Maxey

(Continued)

probation agency which serves the Circuit, General District and Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts and communities in the area counties of Amelia, Appomattox, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway, Powhatan and Prince Edward. My husband and I are active in our local church, Pisgah Baptist, where he serves as a deacon, and I serve on the Finance Com- mittee.

I sincerely and immensely appreciate your allowing me to be one of your representatives on the State Central Committee. I thank you for giving me the privilege of being your representative.

As your representative on the State Central Committee, I will work diligently for you, for our district, and for our goals and objectives in strengthening the Fifth District Republican Party, as well as for our state party. I will continue to be a voice for sound and conservative principles. You have in me a social and fiscal conservative. I am prolife, pro Second Amendment, am a constitutional conservative and am one who will stand for transparency within our Grand Old Party at the local, district and state levels. I believe all members of the State Central Committee should cast their votes by voice and not by secret ballot. I am a staunch believer in limited government. As President Ronald Reagan, for whom I worked tirelessly, once said “Man is not free unless government is limited…As government expands, liberty contracts.”

I ask for your support and vote, at our Fifth District Convention, to be one of your six elected representatives to serve on the State Central Committee. As you know, only three of the six State Central seats are up for election at the upcoming district convention on June 13th .

I am asking, also, for your support and vote for me for Delegate to the Republican National Convention. I want to represent you as one of three (3) Delegates elected to re-nominate President Donald J. Trump. I was a very early supporter of Donald J. Trump for President beginning in June 2015. In 2015, I was asked by the Trump for President campaign to serve on the 5th Cong. District Leadership Team for the Donald Trump for President campaign, alongside former Cong. Virgil Goode, Jim McKelvey, Ron Scearce and Eric Zehr, and I enthusiastically accepted. I will never forget the feeling of thankfulness that I had, and have to this day, that he won the nomination and Presidency. I believe God blessed America by giving us another chance to save our country.

Please let me hear from you. I can be reached at 434-390-8203, at [email protected], P. O. Box 116, Farmville, Va. 23901 or on my Facebook page at “Renee Maxey 5th District”.

Sincerely,

Renée Trent Maxey NANCY RODLAND—current member The electoral process is that opportunity to protect or change the lives and values of our families. Some people say politics is a game. Politics, like game shows, have rules. People that understand the process or the “game,” if you will, have a better chance at succeeding and winning. We all don’t get on the show, but we have a process in place to decide who will represent our interests. You are the players, the audience, the friends I bring to seek and answer the questions facing us as a community. It’s not you, or me, it’s “US”, working together. We are all in this and we need each other. When we recognize the contribution that each of us makes we are better and stronger. I understand the importance of what YOU are bringing to this process. My name is Nancy Rodland, the Representative elected this past summer to your State Central Com- mittee to finish out the remainder of another member’s term who moved out of the 5th District. I have had the privilege to serve you for only a short few months in this role, but I, like you, have been involved and have served in many capacities, to ensure the policies and procedures that affect you are lawfully followed and instituted as per our VA Republican Party Plan. In order to continue to do that, I need your trust and your vote. You have decided to be a delegate and we can work together beginning today. Who am I? I am you... yearning to continue to be free and happy … our beloved nation and Common- wealth has lost its way and we must work together at these local and state levels, even though we often feel there simply is just not enough time in our days and perhaps, not even enough sleep! But, we always want and deserve more happiness. My political journey has been fruitful and always challenging, just as you have invested your time and interest in your own special ways. I lived in Greene County for 24 years with my husband, raising 3 children having moved to the City of Charlottesville in September of 2018. My career has been both a 3rd grade public school teacher in Greene County and Montessori School teacher in Charlottesville and New York. My political building blocks began in Greene County as a diligent working committee member, then as 2nd Vice chair for 6 years, continuing as a representative on the 5th District Committee, appointed Communica- tions Secretary, as well as facilitator of the Ethics and Integrity sub-committee writing and witnessing our Ethics Resolution successfully passed. Recently, the 5th district members elected me to complete the last few months of JoAnn Holden’s vacated seat. Continued next page

Nancy Rodland, Continued

Prior to my recent SCC election, I regularly attended State Central Committee meetings as a proxy or guest. Even though each of the 23 units in the 5th CD autonomously govern via the Virginia Party Plan, in 2018, I was chosen to investigate and help remedy a committee to a better functioning status and tasked with writing required observational reports that were submitted and discussed at the State Central Com- mittee level. The SCC hears and decides procedure and policy based on the VA State Party Plan. I attended the 5 years of court hearings regarding the decision to overturn the Virginia Incumbent Protection Act. On January 10, 2019, the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled the VA IPA as an unconstitutional burden on political parties’ right of free association. My continuing job is to coordinate and discuss details with our Chairman about securing our quarterly meeting venues utilizing all three Zone locations via rotation demonstrating constant consideration for fair- ness to members and community. I continue lobbying for Pro Life, 2A, Right To Work, TeleMedicine, more Federal Reserve Transparen- cy, No Common Core and largely School Choice having a career as a teacher. My favorite readings are the Bible, The Bill of Rights, and the children’s stories, The Giving Tree, and Who Wants an Old Teddy Bear Anyway... I believe in second chances through forgiveness, bringing light to darkness and pardon to injury. When we change the way we look at things, then the things we look at change. My inspiring Bible verses are: Proverbs 3:5 Lean not on your own understanding and Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Today, I ask you to re-elect me, Nancy Rodland, for the opportunity to serve my own 4 year term to work together with you and the other 2 representatives on the State Central Committee as a strong team from the 5th Congressional District .

In our lives, we have reached for the stars, dreamed magnificent dreams, walked miles in our own shoes, picked the flowers, broken bread together, recited the pledge of allegiance and sung our national an- them. The world has been tossed into confusing frightening times. We must stick together, welcome and em- brace our human warmth and express kind consideration of each other in word and deed and pray with faith for continued hope that we may once again break bread and walk together as family, friends, and neighbors- indoors and outdoors. May our days and nights be filled with good health and happiness while remaining aware of the significance of Covid19. Thank you and God Bless!

ED YENSHO—current member Re-Elect Ed Yensho for SCC

In today’s political environment, one of the most compelling yet disregarded phrases from the Declaration of Independence is: “…deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” I wrestle with the concept of “consent” because it can be mistakenly assumed that if there is little push back, then our “electeds” will move full speed ahead with their agenda; whether constitutional or not. For too many decades both political parties have governed through the use of deception and, more recently, by flagrant lies. Complicit in this arrogant governance are most aspects of the media, from print to television to cable to the Web. Obfuscation and deception are the channels through which legislation is passed be it in D.C., Rich- mond, the Local County, or township. Campaigns are bought and paid for by outside parties with “skin in the game”. The end result of these political shenanigans is disturbingly low voter participation rates, in short, AP- ATHY. I still have faith in the American people making and pronouncing good judgments in elections and legislative support, IF they are given truth and factual information to render those decisions. For this reason I am seeking re-election to the State Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia. After serving my first term, I now understand the power structures and how to navigate in that environment, how to choose which battles to engage and which ones to hold your fire. Generally speaking, there are usually only 6-10 swing votes on a given issue, with the two opposing sides comprised of what used to be termed the “conservatives” and the “establishment”. My understanding of those two terms has evolved to a more basic premise: “conservative” meaning those who believe the Party exists to promote the tenets of the “Republican Creed” and the grassroots interests vs. the “establishment” composed of those that believe the Party solely exists to do the bidding of our elected officials. The RPV must now adopt a mindset of being the Peoples’ Representa- tive and establishing trust with the voters as being a source of unvarnished legislative information. The ultimate goal being engagement with and disseminating our findings to our constituents. As a father of two adult daughters, with grandchildren popping up, I will be celebrating my thirty-seventh wedding anniversary with my wife, Letitia at the end of the year. I have known both sweet success and bitter failure in the small business arena, 32 years as a small business owner and 9 years as a plant manager in the manufacturing sector. Together with my wife, daughters and about 20 other families, we helped found the non-denominational church, Blue Ridge Community Church in 1997-98. In the mid 90’s, my political activism started as a volunteer lobbyist on Capitol Hill for the Home School Legal Defense Association. I served three terms as Chairman of the Greene County Republican Committee, after having previously served as the First Vice Chairman, temporary second vice chair and for two years as chair of the Special Events Committee, at which time I founded a monthly outreach program, “GCRC: Alive!”. I also served as Vice Chairman of the 24th Senatorial LDC and Secretary of the 58th House LDC.

ED YENSHO

(continued)

While serving on the 24th Senatorial LDC, it was my pleasure to engage in a project to have a decades old election law rescinded. I participated in the 4 ½ yearlong effort to have the Incumbent Protection Act de- clared unconstitutional. The first suit was dismissed under the declaration that we had no standing. Howev- er, we tried again and were successful, all the way to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Our second attempt was slightly different in that we approached it with different kinds of plaintiffs, and I was one of five plaintiffs, with my position as a Unit Chairman. The other four plaintiffs represented a Congressional District (the Sixth), Dickie Bell’s LDC (the 20th), a former losing candidate in a Primary for a Congressional seat, and the Chairwoman of the 20th House LDC. The State Central Committee has been infected with paralysis because of the conflicting view of the two sides of what our Party’s purpose is. For that reason I support the resolution to amend the State Party Plan at our upcoming State Convention. It is past time to restructure our governing body, especially by eliminating those who serve without being elected at District Conventions. See my article at http://thebullelephant.com/ make-virginia-great-again/

I am adamantly in accord with The Republican Creed and use it as a basis for decisions. You can learn more about me on my Face Book Page- Ed Yensho for SCC. I ask for your vote at the Fifth District Convention on June 13th and in so doing, join with me in reestablishing “We the People” as the leaders of our once and future great STATE and NATION. Sincerely,

Ed Yensho RAHUL MAITRA “Both free speech rights and property rights belong legally to individuals, but their real function is social, to benefit vast numbers of people who do not themselves exercise these rights.” -Thomas Sowell

As a loyal defender of Individual Sovereignty, Family & Education Sovereignty & Health Sovereignty I am running for the Virginia 5th District State Central Committee (SCC).

GOALS: To support individual liberties, constitutional rights & to defend the Republic against all forms of Tyranny;

To educate & inform the public on current national & local subjects beneficial to the community (ie: censor- ship of conservatives in media; state government attacking all sorts of personal liberties (personal protection, pro-family rights, IDs no longer needed to vote, etc); National government movement towards all sorts of forced mandates that centralize power and destroy our Constitutional rights, etc.;

To encourage a grassroots taking back of power at a local level through civic involvement (ie: running for local office, organizing local groups to help support the community, even just getting to know your neighbors and people in our community -- whether it means helping them out if you see they are having car troubles on the side of the road; giving away an extra bounty of vegetables from the garden to neighbors/ the local church/the local food bank; or, lending a lawn mower or a wheelbarrow to your next door neighbor.

GUIDING Principles of Government: Principle #1) All persons are rightfully sovereign over their own affairs which do not infringe upon the rights of others.

Principle #2) Families shall be sovereign over all family affairs which do not infringe upon the rights of others or present an imminent, physical threat to the life of included children.

Principle #3) Fundamental rights are superior to all earthly law and should be secured by a citizenship covenant document that is accepted by unanimous consent and never made subject to majority rule.

Principle #4) Government should only be formed by initial unanimous consent of those to be governed by such, for the sole purpose of providing mutual defense for the fundamental rights of all citizens.

Principle #5) Citizenship should be by covenant and qualification rather than by birth, whereby the fundamental rights of citizens, and the duties and responsibilities of both parties (government and citizen) are clearly specified.

Rahul Maitra (continued)

Principle #6) Equal justice (not results) shall be guaranteed for all citizens under constitutional law that strictly limits the scope of all lawmaking power to the defense of fundamental rights.

Principle #7) Government should be financed by user fees for all direct services to individuals and general taxes for universal services (defense, justice, administration, and legislation); the latter should be uniform and equal for all citizens.

Principle #8) Military and police power of government should only be used where there exists a direct threat to the fundamental rights of its citizens, and to enforce laws which are constitutional and based upon those rights. Any assistance for liberty given to foreign nations where a significant threat to this nation cannot be demonstrated should be encouraged by government but carried out by voluntary measures.

Principle #9) Citizens should be privately armed not only for personal protection against crime, but to act as the ultimate force against potential government tyranny and aggression against the fundamental rights detailed in the citizen covenant.

Principle #10) Government must be strictly limited in its powers, especially in the following three areas of unlimited intrusion: Providing any specific benefit to any person or group, financed by any form of taxation, not constituting a user fee.

Protecting people from natural disaster, safety hazards, risk taking or any other difficulty not constituting a threat to fundamental rights. Prosecution or making any act a crime in the absence of a specific complainant or victim, except in cases involving imminent threat to life

My name is Eric Brazeal, and I am asking for your support to represent you on the State Central Committee. Many people would say how long they’ve been in the game, or who they know, as a reason for your vote. While these can factor into the decision to support a candidate, our party desperately needs someone who can turn things around and bring unique experience and personal success into the picture. I began my venture in politics while working for Senator John McCain and volunteering for local candidates in Northern Virginia such as Dick Black, Andrew Gupta, and Mick Staton. Those moments in my life instilled my love for politics and local elections as well. That experience shouldn’t make you decide to support me though. It is what came next that I feel will serve the Republican Party of Virginia. Overcoming adversity is something we desperately need to focus on. While we are suffering under the rule of King Northam, we know we cannot afford another four years of Democratic control. We as a party have stood on the sidelines far too long while the opposition continues to gain ground. While we can all list off reasons for this, the fact remains that we have to find a way to rescue our Commonwealth. We need representatives who can overcome adversity and fight against all odds to win. I have done this, and I know how to get our party back on track to win. I have no shame in retelling the hardest and darkest time in my life. After I was arrested for drug use in 2006, I hit rock bottom. My experience working for politicians did nothing to help me work my way out of the hole I had dug for myself. I created a business in which I had no experience. I spent tireless nights learning the trade so I didn’t fail and could succeed for my family and myself. I still own this business, and I’m happy to report that it has been very successful. I joined the Fire Department even though I had never entered a fire station in my life. Within two years, I was an officer and training other firefighters. I then decided to get back into politics. 2016—I joined the Brunswick local committee in 2016 and became Vice Chairman. The committee had only 2 delegates, and it was a 70/30 Democrat county at the time. We worked with Congressman Garrett and were able to get more than 40% of the vote, despite the heavy Democrat control prior to that election. 2017—Our local unit continued to grow during the governor election, and Brunswick County has a more vocal presence in the 5th District Committee when I stepped into the role of Chairman. 2018– Congressman Denver Riggleman received 44% of the vote, and our numbers continued to grow. 2019—The year that Republicans lost control of the state of Virginia, Brunswick County finally turned Republi- can with State Senator Frank Ruff receiving 51% of the vote. That is what hard work, dedication, perseverance can do when you have the right people who are passionate about growth and success. How do you go from being the man who sat in a jail cell to having the pleasure of representing the people of Brunswick County as their Chairman? Hard work, dedication and perseverance. That is what the Republican Party needs, especially now. What I know is how to lead. What I know is how to win. What I know is how to climb out of the depths of hell and find the promised land. That is what I want to bring to the Republican Party of Virginia and the State Central Committee.

Thank you for your consideration, Eric Brazeal BARBARA HANCOCK Hello Madison County Republicans! Since I am running for a seat on the State Central Committee, I want to give you an opportunity to get to know a little about me. I have been interested in politics for many years. I vividly remember campaigning for Ronald Reagan when I was 10 years old. Also, as a child I was fascinated with learning all that I could about the presidents. For many years I have been active in our local, state, and federal government by closely following activities around the area through attending local meetings, studying meeting minutes, re- searching proposed bills at both state and federal levels, and contacting the necessary governing officials with concerns. I believe that everyone should be actively involved in understanding what their government is doing. It is never a good idea to blindly follow the media and simply accept their version of events. I want to be a part of the State Central Committee so I can work constructively with others, regardless of our views, to ensure that problems in our 5th district are resolved in a fair and unbiased manner. On a more personal level, I recently turned 50 years old, and will celebrate that recent accomplish- ment after all this social distancing is over! In July I will have been married to my husband, Rodney, for 32 years. We have two adult sons who I homeschooled for a total of 15 years. Jacob graduated in 2010, and Matthew graduated in 2016. Jacob loves to help others. He is a High School Career Coach and is adding to his education by attending college for a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Matthew has a successful career as an Electrician and just purchased his first house. My husband is a Master Electrician and we run Hancock Elec- tric. He is also an Electrical Instructor at Virginia Technical Institute in Altavista and Campbell County Tech- nical Center. I have been a Registered Nurse for 28 years and worked in the acute care setting of a hospital for 21 years. I have also worked in urgent care, physical rehabilitation, and most recently in clinical education. I am currently an Assistant Cellular Health Coach working with students from around the world. I closely assist ten of them to achieve their goals in health and wellness. I have two small groups that I lead; one of them through my church called “Honoring God with How You Treat Your Body,” and the other is a community Bi- ble study that I started called “Daughters of Destiny.” I am also currently taking a course in “Systematic The- ology.” I am thankful for technology that allows us to continue communication and studies even though we cannot be together at this time. I know that serving the community is very important. Over the years, I have participated in community functions such as: volunteer teaching at a local private school; led homeschool groups for approximately 9 years; started an outreach called "Houses for Dogs" where I work with people to provide housing for dogs in need; served as the Children's Church director for 4 years; served as VBS director for 6 years, led Bible studies, worked to bring families together through our homeschool organizations, organized community meals with other churches in order to bring a diverse community together, started a free community clothing clos- et, organized community events for charitable ministries, and most recently hosted a special day of ministry for our community called “The Beauty of Broken”.

BARBARA HANCOCK

(continued)

In addition, I love the outdoors. Hiking, gardening, camping, and boating are some of my favorite out- door pleasures. I also love animals. I have three dogs and two cats. The most important aspect of my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ. That is what has sustained me through the ups and downs of life. As for recent political endeavors, in 2019 I actively campaigned for two candidates (in other magisterial districts) who were running for seats on the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors. For the Republican primaries in 2018 I campaigned for Nick Freitas. In 2014 I campaigned for Gillespie for senate and for gover- nor in 2017. In 2016 I actively campaigned for Trump. In 2017, I ran for a seat on the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors and missed it by a narrow margin of 0.5%. It was an incredible experience! I was so blessed to get to know many people of the region and gain their support. That experience also helped me to learn quite a bit about politics that I didn’t realize before. Since then, I have been surprised to hear from several people who said they were influenced by me to run for public offices, including school board and city/ town councils. I have lived in Pittsylvania County all my life. I respectfully ask for your vote at our upcoming convention.

May God bless each of you! Sincerely, Barbara M. Hancock, State Central Committee Candidate

DELEGATES TO GOP NATIONAL CONVENTION

3 DELEGATES, 3 ALTERNATES (vote for six)

Delegate selection and allocation Delegates are individuals chosen to represent their state at their party's national nominating convention. Republican delegates may be selected in a variety of ways, including through elections, by the Republican state committee, by state or congressional district conventions, or by virtue of a leadership position within the state's Republican Party. There are three primary methods used to allocate Republican delegates (which means to bind them to vote for a certain candidate on at least the first ballot at the national convention):[2] Proportional: States using this method either allocate all their delegates proportionally to the candidates based on the statewide vote or they allocate at-large delegates proportionally based on the statewide vote and congressional district delegates proportionally based on the vote at the district level. Winner-take-all: States using this method allocate all their delegates to the candidate who receives a plurality of votes in the primary election or caucus. Hybrid: The Republican National Committee describes hybrid allocation methods as those that combine other methods. Some states award at-large delegates on a winner-take-all basis according to the statewide vote and congressional district delegates on a winner-take-all basis according to the vote within the districts. Some states directly elect delegates, who are usually bound to a particular candidate on the ballot. Most Republican delegate allocation rules are set by state parties and state laws, though the Republican National Committee sets some rules that states must comply with. Delegates bound by primaries or caucuses held before March 15 must be allocated proportionally to candidates, either based on the statewide vote or the vote at the congressional district level. States using proportional allocation are, however, allowed to establish a minimum threshold, up to 20 percent, below which a candidate does not qualify for any proportionally allocated delegates. States may also set a threshold of at least 50 percent above which a candidate receives all delegates.[3] Pledged vs. unpledged delegates

Pledged delegates, also called bound delegates, are bound to vote on at least the first ballot at the national convention based on the results of their states' primary or caucus. The Rules of the Republican Party, as passed in July 2016 and amended in July 2018, state the following:

Any statewide presidential preference vote that permits a choice among candidates for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in a primary, caucuses, or a state convention must be used to allocate and bind the state’s delegation to the national convention in either a proportional or winner-take-all manner, except for delegates and alternate delegates who appear on a ballot in a statewide election and are elected directly by primary voters.[7] ”

—Rule 16(a)(1), The Rules of the Republican Party[8]There are four distinct types of pledged Republican delegates:[9]

Pledged district delegates are distributed and elected at the congressional district level. The Republican Party assigns three district-level delegates to each congressional district.

Pledged at-large delegates are distributed and elected statewide. The Republican Party assigns 10 at-large delegates to each state.

Pledged party leaders: The Republican Party gives delegate status to three party leaders from each state and territory—its national committeeman, national committeewoman, and state party chair.

Pledged bonus delegates: Bonus delegates are assigned to states whose electoral votes went to the Republican nominee in the last presidential election and to states in which Republicans hold: the governorship, at least half of U.S. representative seats, a majority of a state legislative chamber, a majority of seats in both legislative chambers, or a U.S. Senate seat (elected within the past six years).

Trump—June 2015 5th Congressional District Leadership Team for Donald J. Trump For President Campaign—2015 MATT D. HARDIN

I’m running for RNC National Delegate because I want to be there at our National Convention to support Pres- ident Trump. We all know what the "Never Trump" crew tried to pull in 2016 at the last convention. This time, while there isn’t any serious opposition to re-electing Trump as our nominee, I expect vigorous fights on the party platform and other issues, as the deep state attempts to make itself relevant in our politics again. I want to be there to make sure we firmly back Trump, and his agenda, rather than simply going through the motions to re-nominate him.

My day job is working as an attorney for a group called Government Accountability & Oversight (www.govoversight.org), and I run a project called Climate Litigation Watch (www.ClimateLitigationWatch.org). Our work centers on fighting to expose the left’s use of the courts to get what they couldn’t get through the democratic process - ratification of an extreme “green” agenda. From 2017-2019 I was Greene County’s Commonwealth’s Attorney. I was a candidate for RPV’s State Central Com- mittee (State Secretary) in 2016.

Matt welcomes any questions and has shared his email address, [email protected] and cell phone number: 434-202-4224 for those who wish to speak with him. NANCY RODLAND President Donald J. Trump is Keeping America Great! IT’S TIME FOR 4 MORE YEARS! 2020-Sounds like a winner to me! In 2016, I was elected an ALTERNATE DELEGATE to the Cleveland, Ohio, Republican National Convention. I got my feet wet, so to speak, with procedure and expectations, HOWEVER, alternate delegates are NOT seated on the floor, they are NOT making decisions, they are NOT permitted to VOTE. They are there to step in if a delegate is NOT ABLE to be on the floor, either before, or during, the convention for any reason-illness, emergency, even being late. With my exposure and experience in Cleveland, I am best prepared to NOW SERVE as a VA Delegate to the Charlotte National Convention. Establishing and voting on the rules for the convention is generally a long and often contentious process. VA has 49 delegates and 49 alternate delegates. Each district has 3 delegates and 3 alternate delegates. The media are everywhere and from around the world striving to interview delegates and alternates. Coaching on giving interviews really is necessary. The media even calls you on your cell phone to interview you. Delegates represent our Commonwealth and TODAY all eyes are on VA Republicans largely because our Gen- eral Assembly is a democratic majority and much PAC and corporate money is spent on our races to keep it that way. VA is a Commonwealth where many of the nation’s federal lawmakers and employees reside and therefore, we are a unique and targeted state being in such close proximity to the federal government. Delegates and 5th District residents, I have you in mind when I am seated on the voting floor. I ask you to vote for me to best represent you in Charlotte, NC as one of our 3 National Convention Delegates to proudly nominate our incumbent candidate, President Donald J. Trump, for re-election and we will all campaign together with strength for our Republican nominee to WIN the November 2020 election. We are never certain what tomorrow may bring... we hear and know this statement. However, in our nation as we live today, we likely have never suspected that breathing through masks, wearing protective gloves, isolating from most people, especially, loved ones, would occur in our beloved America. President Trump remains in favor of the convention to move ahead for August in Charlotte, with awareness of the current safety/health situation at hand, but he has expressed openness to a scaled-down event due to the coronavirus. We don’t know what our Republican National Convention Committee will decide. Neverthe- less, we in the 5th CD are preparing to nominate and elect President Donald J. Trump as our choice for Presi- dent, and I am excited that you will consider voting for me to do just that for you US Let’s Keep America Great! Thank you! ~Nancy Rodland~ WENDELL KENNETH JOHNSON

Greetings to Delegates of VA5 Republican Convention 2020 .

Thank you for this chance to introduce myself. I do not seek to be your leader but your representative. A bit of context: I believe this is a spiritual battle and that we find ourselves on the front lines for good or evil. In a sense as the 5th goes, so goes VA, so goes the nation.

As your delegate I have three main goals:

• Nominate and support TRUMP/PENCE against the globalist elitists within or without of our party.

• Keep our party platform intact, “recognize marriage as the union of one man and one woman...” (YES, it really says that.)

• Keep our party platform Pro-Life.

Suggested choices State Central Committee (3) : Ed Yensho Elector (1): James K. McKelvey (Founder, Virginians for Trump)

Congressional Candidate (1): Bob Good National Delegate (3): James K. McKelvey (Founder, Virginians for Trump); Wendell Kenneth Johnson

I am Wendell Kenneth Johnson of 74% Republican Bedford County, VA. I will fully support our 2020 Republican ticket. I served in the Army National Guard for 8 years, and graduated from Liberty U. I am currently a member of Morgans Baptist Church, SCV (life member), AMAC, Lynchburg Tea Party, and Bedford Republican Committee. I love my country, my family, my Lord.

I have included several photos:

VELLIE S. DIETRICH-HALL

Dear Fellow Members of 5th Congressional District of Virginia Republican Committee,

Please consider voting for me as your Delegate (Alternate) to the upcoming 2020 National Republican Convention. In 2003, I proudly represented the State of Virginia as an elected Delegate-At large during the Republican National Convention in New York. The hat that I wore helped highlight the openness of the Republican Party to all Americans, regardless of ethnic origin.

There are approximately 595,208 counted Asians in the Commonwealth of Virginia. They are low hanging fruits that can easily be picked because their beliefs align well with the Republican creed- strong family values, self- reliance, belief in God and importance of education. Yet, our party is sadly lagging behind to the Democrats in outreach efforts towards Asian Americans.

Fifteen years ago, the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) attempted to widen its “tent”. I was appointed to co-chair the Ethnic Coalitions Committee and received the Outstanding Minority Outreach Award in 2008. But lately, the RPV tent appears to be shrinking in terms of diversity. That was probably one of the reasons why President Trump lost here in Virginia because Repub- licans were out-hustled by the Democrats in the chase for the Asian-American votes.

My husband and I moved to Cullen, Virginia in 2010 from Northern Virginia and we focused more in establishing our businesses to help boast the local economy. I helped our party as much as I could during that resettling time. America has prospered under President Donald Trump. I want to soldier on to re-elect Pres. Trump. This strong leader who has brought us to the peak of pros- perity will also bring us up from the abyss of economic fall caused by this corona pandemic.

Presently, I have been invited by the RNC HQ to help in their outreach effort in six battleground states outside of Virginia. I strongly feel however that I should start here in my new home district first. The Filipino-Americans of Virginia that I helped establish more than twenty years ago has reorganized and reactivated.

I invite you to please consider reading my community involvement, training, skills, and credentials. Most especially, feel free to check out my years of involvement as a loyal GOP soldier pushing the party's platform and mostly as a useful and productive American. The bio and experiences attached should convince you that I can capably and proudly represent the 5th GOP District to the 2020 Republican National Convention.

I ask that you consider voting for me not as a token Asian-American, but as a loyal Republican with bonafide grass-roots experience promoting the Republican agenda in America. Thank you.

Gratefully Blessed,

Vellie S. Dietrich-Hall

As a loyal defender of Individual Sovereignty, Family & Education Sovereignty & Health Sovereignty, I am running for the Virginia National GOP Delegate

GUIDING Principles of Government:

Principle #1) All persons are rightfully sovereign over their own affairs which do not infringe upon the rights of others.

Principle #2) Families shall be sovereign over all family affairs which do not infringe upon the rights of others or present an imminent, physical threat to the life of included children.

Principle #3) Fundamental rights are superior to all earthly law and should be secured by a citizenship covenant document that is accepted by unanimous consent and never made subject to majority rule.

Principle #4) Government should only be formed by initial unanimous consent of those to be governed by such, for the sole purpose of providing mutual defense for the fundamental rights of all citizens.

Principle #5) Citizenship should be by covenant and qualification rather than by birth, whereby the fundamental rights of citizens, and the duties and responsibilities of both parties (government and citizen) are clearly specified.

Principle #6) Equal justice (not results) shall be guaranteed for all citizens under constitutional law that strictly limits the scope of all lawmaking power to the defense of fundamental rights.

Principle #7) Government should be financed by user fees for all direct services to individuals and general taxes for universal services (defense, justice, administration, and legislation); the latter should be uniform and equal for all citizens.

Principle #8) Military and police power of government should only be used where there exists a direct threat to the fundamental rights of its citizens, and to enforce laws which are constitutional and based upon those rights. Any assistance for liberty given to foreign nations where a significant threat to this nation cannot be demonstrated should be encouraged by government but carried out by voluntary measures.

Principle #9) Citizens should be privately armed not only for personal protection against crime, but to act as the ultimate force against potential government tyranny and aggression against the fundamental rights detailed in the citizen covenant.

Principle #10) Government must be strictly limited in its powers, especially in the following three areas of unlimited intrusion:

1.Providing any specific benefit to any person or group, financed by any form of taxation, not constituting a user fee.

2.Protecting people from natural disaster, safety hazards, risk taking or any other difficulty not constituting a threat to fundamental rights.

3.Prosecution or making any act a crime in the absence of a specific complainant or victim, except in cases involving imminent threat to life

FOUNDER VIRGINIANS FOR TRUMP

My name is Jim McKelvey and I am a candidate for Delegate for the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. As founder of Virginians for Trump, based out of Moneta, VA, I have made it my personal mission to see to it that not only Donald Trump be elected for another 4 years, but that we turn Virginia red in 2020. I have personally donated an office for this purpose and the purpose of sign distribution throughout the State, just as I did in 2016. I am also the owner of “The Bus,” which I had wrapped for his 2016 campaign and again for his 2020 campaign. With all my efforts, I was recognized by the RPV as Volunteer of the Year in 2016 for Trump. I am proud to say Virginians for Trump now has a base of volunteers to help me spread the message. There are no limits for me. I will see to it that Trump is not only re-elected, but that Virginia turns Red in 2020! Right to the point, my reasons for representing you the 5th District and the State of Virginia are as follows.

First, I have the experience. I was a delegate in 2016. Realizing the divide within the Virginia Delegation, I and others immediately set out to unite our delegation which we accomplished. We have a divided republican Party in Virginia. It is time to put our differences aside and support the party.

Ask yourself this question, why are we the minority in Virginia? The #1 reason, lack of unity within the party, something the Democrat party does not suffer from.

Secondly, I have no doubt we can take Virginia for Trump in 2020. In 2016, with little help from the Campaign, RNC or the RPV, we only lost the State by 5 points. With all our President has accomplished, coupled with our Gover- nor’s anti-gun, anti-life agenda, excessive regulation, and taxation, we Virginians are waking up! My intent is to seek out the TRUMP campaign staff at the convention to convince them that we will take Virginia and increase their support to accomplish that very goal. This can and will be done. My wife and I, as well as volunteers throughout the State will see to it! Just as we did in 2016, we will distribute signs everywhere so that Trump’s name is out there. Enough is enough. Virginia will go Red! We the people will see to it. I believe this with every fiber of my being. My wife and I supported President Trump from the day he came down the escalator.

We will not let the citizens down in 2020. Thank you for your consideration. God Bless Virginia, God Bless the USA and God Bless President Donald J. Trump.

National Delegate for President Trump

WHAT I STAND FOR:

100% Pro-Life: Abolish Abortion

2nd Amendment Rights

Build the Wall

Reduce National Debt

Traditional Marriage

EXPERIENCE:

Area Rep for Cong. Buck (CO-4)

Researcher and Copy-editor for David Barton at WallBuilders

Intern for Cong. Lamborn (CO-5)

Studied Philosophy at Hillsdale College

Studied Theology at Blue Ridge Bible College

National Delegates are in a unique position to help shape the image of our party, including the framing of our platform. From the least to the most significant office, whom we choose to represent us is an affirmative statement of whom we want to be as apar- ty. I hope after reading my purpose for running that you can stand with me when you cast your vote.

Growing up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, I was raised with a love for my country, its unmatched beauty and the great achievement of its founding. Shadowing my mom on the campaign trail for years was an education in applying political principle to practice. We volunteered for some of the most conservative members of Congress and read aloud to each other our favorite political books on our way to and from events. We even memorized the preamble to the Declaration of Independence (just ask me to recite it – I will).

Studying philosophy at Hillsdale College, I fell in love all over again with the principles of good government and the importance of advocating for the Constitution and liberty. Having studied theology at the 5th CD’s own Blue Ridge Bible College, I feel an urgency more than ever before about my duty as a Christian and citizen. And as a citizen, I am indebted to those who have laid down their lives for the gift that is our Republic. How can I be anything but bound by duty to ensure others have the same gift to grow up in an America blessed and free?

MARY CONAN

(continued)

That is why I am running for National Delegate for President Trump. An outsider, billionaire businessman has accomplished more in one term than what Republican politicians have been promising for my entire lifetime. He won me by his results.

He has been the most pro-life President we have ever had and the first to speak at the March for Life. I will not be moved in my stance for Life to protect the most innocent in our society and to empower non-profits to help women who feel they have no other choice. Abortion is murder, modern-day child sacrifice, and it is unqualifiedly the gravest of sins in our nation.

The breakdown of the family is the single greatest reason for the dissolution of America’s high moral standards and for the expan- sion of the Welfare state. I advocate, as our party platform does, for traditional marriage. We are not to succumb to the defeatist message rising even in our own ranks nor compromise our convictions. This is not a lost fight. We need strong families, strong mar- riages, to have healthy, thriving citizens. We cannot be a free people capable of self-governance without it.

There are public schools across America where men can compete in women’s sports, use their restrooms, and be used as a prop for the Left’s talking point of “diversity.” We must speak the truth about the damaging cycle of child abuse that occurs under the guise of Transgenderism, which in many cases leads to the irreversible mutilation of young children. This ideology confuses young minds and exacerbates, if not manufacturers, an untold number of mental illnesses and suffering for a mere political agenda. It is nothing short of wicked.

We must take control of our national debt – that is an inheritance no one would wish on their children. Our current trajectory is unfeasible, and were it in my power to appoint Dave Ramsey to oversee all spending, I would. We need to re-ignite the spirit of the 2012 Tea Parties and once again champion restrained government, less spending, and lower taxes (and yes, even in times of crisis).

Furthermore, we need to articulate the inherent good of our conservative Constitution and its practical solutions to a generation that is dying for common sense, to a generation looking for a standard to be raised up. We should not fear the simple predication of calling good ‘good’ and evil ‘evil.’ If we are unwavering in our conviction, seeking the truth, and ready for open, honest dis- course, we can not only win the younger vote but finally begin a renaissance of American constitutionalism. These principles are old and true, and that is why they work.

We must, with all that is within us, fight the evil that is socialism, which has sought to destroy America for the past 100+ years. I do know our greatest years are ahead because even now, Americans (democrat, republican, independent) are waking up, the Church is waking up, our country is waking up to reclaim self-governance and restore proper moral living before God. I am ready and have great expectation for our future as a party and as a people! Are you? NATIONAL ELECTORAL COLLEGE ELECTOR

TO CAST A VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES JAMES K. McKELVEY See Resume under National GOP Delegate

RICHARD A. VIGUERIE Next page Dear Fellow Delegate to the Republican 5th Congressional District Convention,

I’ve included my standard bio below. However, I want to add that I’ve been active at the national level of the conservative movement longer than every living conservative, except for Dr. Lee Edwards, a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation. I was fortunate to be able to help launch the conservative movement starting in 1961 as Executive Secretary of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), and I would be honored to receive your support to continue my conservative movement work as a Delegate representing you at the 2020 Republican National Convention this August in Charlotte, NC.

I would also greatly appreciate your vote for me as Elector for the 5th Congressional District for the November 2020 presidential election. With great thanks and appreciation for your work, sacrifice, and leadership in behalf of liberty/freedom under God’s Laws.

RICHARD A. VIGUERIE pioneered the use of direct mail in politics.

Richard Viguerie transformed American politics in the 1960s and 70s by pioneering the use of direct mail fundraising in the political and ideological spheres, which allowed conservatives to go around the liberal media blockage right into people’s homes. He used direct mail marketing/fundraising to help build the conservative movement, which then elected Ronald Reagan as the first conservative president of the modern era.

Viguerie is the Chairman of American Target Advertising, a 55-year-old direct marketing agency with 75 team members located in Northern Virginia. Viguerie’s company has mailed more than 4.3 billion letters and raised more than $7.5 billion for conservative causes. They mailed over 100 million postal letters in 2019 and will mail far more in 2020 to advance the conservative/Republican cause. Viguerie is also Chairman of FedUp PAC, an independent expenditure political action committee, focused on helping to re-elect President Trump and electing a Republican Congress. He is also the publisher of a conservative website, ConservativeHQ.com.

Dr. Lee Edwards (a Reagan biographer and senior fellow at he Heritage Foundation) wrote in The Washington Times in 1999 that Viguerie was one of 13 “Conservatives of the Century.”

“He is one of the genuine pioneers of modern American politics. He went out and figured out some very complicated things and then applied them to a cause he believed in – a cause that I am proud to have worked with him on. He really invented the use of direct mail by Republicans and by conservatives.” Newt Gingrich, Former House Speaker

“He is the catalyst that allowed conservatism to reach the pinnacles that it has over these past many years.” Barry Gold- water, Jr., Former Congressman

“The truth is I couldn’t have gotten my Institute off the ground without what I learned from him. Without any doubt, Richard Viguerie is the Funding Father of the conservative movement.” Morton Blackwell, President, Leadership Insti- tute

Mr. Viguerie and his wife, Elaine have been married for 57 years. They have three children and six grandchildren and live in Rappahannock County on 230 acres of conservative-friendly environment.
