Meanwhile, Chase wants word from fellow candidates to reject nomination if it comes from central committee. The Progress-Index State Sen. Amanda Chase has found an unlikely ally in her legal fight against state Republican leaders over the process of nominating the statewide ticket for the November election. It's one of her competitors for the GOP gubernatorial nod. During an appearance Tuesday morning on Charlottesville radio station WCHV, former investment firm executive Glenn Youngkin said he could "sympathize" with Chase regarding the Republican Party of Virginia's State Central Committee, which voted last December to select the ticket via convention, but has delayed a vote on how to hold the convention in accordance with COVID-19 pandemic protocols for public gathering.
