From Goodlatte’s endorsement announcement:

This is former Representative, Bob Goodlatte. It is my distinct pleasure to announce my endorsement of Senator Emmett Hanger for re-election.

I have known and worked with Emmett Hanger from the days when he was a young Delegate in Richmond and I was Chair of the 6th District Republican Committee.

He has demonstrated over the years that he is strongly pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment. He is careful with your taxpayer dollars.

Emmett Hanger makes a real difference in Richmond for the small cities and rural areas of Virginia. He is a strong and reasoned voice with a positive impact protecting and improving our quality of life.

On June 11 be sure to vote for Senator Emmett Hanger in the Republican Primary.
