Denver Riggleman on why he might consider an independent run in the Virginia governor's race RICHMOND â Thereâs a scene in the 2019 miniseries âWatchmenâ where a troubled antihero, locked up in prison and bullied by fellow inmates, violently beats a picked few and says, âIâm not locked in here with you. Youâre locked in here with me.â Former U.S Rep. Denver Riggleman, R-5th, recalled the scene in a recent interview about his hopes to jump into the Virginia governorâs race as an independent, a decision he said is now only predicated on cash, given his level of frustration with the field of candidates in both parties.
