The Roanoke Times is reporting that Senator Roscoe Reynolds (20th Dist.) will be challenged by Jeff Evans.About Evans, it reports:
Jeff Evans, an Army veteran, former state trooper and current vice chairman of the Carroll County Board of Supervisors, has announced he's seeking the Republican nomination to run in the 20th District against Reynolds, a Democrat from Henry County.
This is, of course, old news to the blogosphere. Alton reported it a couple of weeks ago.
Sen. Reynolds has a big advantage going in because of his experience and relationship with his consitutuents. Mr. Evans will have a difficult time making people believe he can do more than Sen. Reynolds, who knows how Richmond works, and continues to improve his district.
Still, we will need to be ready to help Sen. Reynolds anyway we can. He was a very out-spoken supporter of Sen.-Elect Webb and holding his seat will be imperative to our effort to regain the majority in the Virginia Senate.
It does not appear that Sen. Reynolds has a campaign website, so maybe that should be our first contribution to his effort.
I dont particulary know a whole lot about Evans, but I do know the Carroll County Board of Supervisors as a whole are always having major interal problems, and are precieved by the public as being incompetent and incapable of getting anything done.
