Former congressional candidate to appear at Goodlatte office to issue challenge

Andy Schmookler will deliver a challenge to Republican Congressman Bob Goodlatte next week at Goodlatte’s Harrisonburg office.

Schmookler, who ran in 2012 for the Sixth District congressional seat held by Goodlatte since 1992, will issue the challenge at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 4, he said in a news release this week.

The challenge, as worded by Schmookler, is for a public debate on Donald Trump as a threat to the constitutional order of the United States.

Schmookler will be accompanied on his visit to Goodlatte’s Harrisonburg office next week by supporters and will take questions from the press.
