Dammit. He did what I’ve been asking him to do, so I’ve got nothing to complain about this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

James Edmunds is going for his 6th term in the Virginia House of Delegates. He does have opposition this year but will have no difficulty in winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Edmunds is Halifax County. James Edmunds is the 60th District. He’s smart. He’s country. He’s fun to be around. If you need constituent help, he’s going to get to the bottom of the problem. He’s been the best candidate for the last 10 years and he’s the best candidate now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every endorsement I’ve ever written for him has included the section that says something like “Dammit. Move up the ranks in the House. Get something real accomplished!”. This endorsement won’t have that section because Edmunds worked his butt off in this past session and pulled off a miracle. He got a local option sales tax referendum for Halifax County approved using every bit of legislative muscle he had built up in ten years. I was highly impressed. James Edmunds is very much deserving of an additional term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SouthsideCentral gives James Edmunds our highest endorsement and we strongly urge voters in the 60th House District to vote for him on November 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
