From RPV/Garren Shipley Four Candidates File to Seek VA GOP U.S. Senate Nomination -- Nominee to be chosen at June Convention in Roanoke -- A total of four candidates have filed to seek the Republican Party of Virginias nomination for U.S. Senate. The deadline for filing the necessary paperwork and filing fee was 5 p.m., Saturday February 1. The candidates who have filed are, in order of submission: * Edward Ed Gillespie, of Alexandria, a communications consultant, former White House aide, and former chairman of the Republican National Committee. * Anthony Tony DeTora, of Fredericksburg, a senior policy adviser for a member of Congress. * Wayshak Shak Hill, of Centreville, retired Air Force pilot and financial planning consultant. * Charles Chuck Moss, of Nokesville, owner of a small network consulting business. The partys nominee will be chosen by a convention to be held in Roanoke on June 7. Statement of RPV Chairman Pat Mullins: I want to thank each of these men for stepping up to run for office. Our Republican Party here in Virginia has a very deep bench, and were never short of talented, energetic people who are willing to step up and serve their fellow Virginians. While its a long way to June, and even further to November, I can say one thing with absolute certainty: each of these four men would be a far better U.S. Senator than Mark Warner, and I look forward to working with our eventual nominee to return Mark Warner to the private sector.
