Last Update: 14th District House Race \u2013 Update #1<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a strange political season when a city’s Sheriff’s and Commonwealth Attorney’s election get more attention than the House of Delegates’ one does.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thoughts:<\/em> Incumbent Danny Marshall is facing challenger Seward Anderson in a race that’s much different than 2 years ago. Marshall squeaked by in an ugly race that was paid for by outside money.<\/p>\n

This year, Marshall has pretty much ignored Anderson’s campaign. The candidates had a debate the past week but nothing much came out of it. Anderson has gone to direct mail advertisements (one of which was quite sleazy<\/a>), while Marshall has done a direct mailing that touts his achievements and has a local TV ad in place.<\/p>\n

With 16 days to go, Marshall seems to have a comfortable lead (as shown by Anderson’s negative attacks). Marshall should be looking to run the clock out while Anderson has to get his name out to have a chance. Anderson’s signs are a basic blue saying “Seward – Delegate”, and I’m not sure that a lot of people even put that together into his campaign. I do have one pet peeve about Anderson’s campaign office that’s located in downtown Danville. Spend the $100 needed to cover up the “Drastic Designs” sign from the previous out-of-business tenant. Do something to at least get your name out to people that see your building. Small things like that help get the candidate’s name out.<\/p>\n

Fun random fact: What Danville City Council members are donating to these campaigns? Gary Miller has donated $500 to Anderson’s campaign, while Buddy Rawley & Fred Shanks have donated $200 each to Marshall’s campaign.<\/p>\n

Current vote prediction: Marshall 56% \u2013 Anderson 44%<\/p>\n
