LYNCHBURG, Va. – With less than 200 days until Virginians elect their next governor, some GOP candidates debated in Lynchburg Monday.
Five of the seven candidates Sergio de la Peña, Peter Doran, Kirk Cox, Amanda Chase and Glenn Youngkin discussed issues including criticism of the Virginia parole board, the 2nd amendment, and reopening schools.
Dr. David Richards, political science chairman at the University of Lynchburg, said the group presented themselves well.
“In general, they did a good job of trying to position themselves as both being on the conservative end of things, but also trying to appeal to the middle, as I’m sure they all realize they’re going to have to do in the general election.”
