Leading up to the Republican Advance, the first of many endorsement lists has been released. One thing stands out. The House of Delegate GOP Caucus overwhelmingly supports Rob Bell for Attorney General. His list includes 36 different Delegates who have endorsed him, an overwhelming majority of the House GOP Caucus. The list includes Speaker Bill Howell and delegates of every stripe from all over the commonwealth. The list also includes two former delegates, Bill Carrico and Bill Janis. Two other things that stand out about the list. Rob Bell has the support of Congressman Rob Hurt. He also seems to be distancing himself from Jeff Frederick (former Delegate and RPV Chairman) who recently endorsed him by leaving him off the list. If Bell won't even acknowledge that Jeff Frederick has endorsed him, should Frederick's supporters back Bell?Mark Obenshain's endorsement list will be interesting to see in the coming days.
The full list from the email is below.
