The 11th Congressional District Republican Committee officially nominated Army veteran Jeff Dove to run against entrenched incumbent Rep. Gerry Connolly. Dove was the only one to file and his team has met the certification requirements. His name will appear on the ballot in the General Election in November.
Here is the press release from the Dove campaign on securing the Republican nomination.
JEFF DOVE SECURES REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR VIRGINIA’S 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Jeff Dove has made history in Virginia’s 11th Congressional District.
Woodbridge, VA – Jeff Dove, Republican Congressional Candidate for VA-11, officially clinched the Republican nomination. Jeff Dove will now be able to spend his time and resources on defeating career insider Rep. Gerry Connolly.
Jeff Dove is looking forward bringing his common sense message to the entire electorate. Unfortunately, Congress has routinely failed to help improve the lives of Virginia’s families and small businesses. Rep. Connolly has especially failed this mission, and is now beholden to party leadership and out-of-touch special interest groups rather than the people he represents.
“I’m honored to be the Republican Nominee for Virginia’s 11th Congressional District,” said Jeff Dove. “Our campaign is already making concrete steps to further spread our common sense message to all of the voters in the district. While I was in the military, no matter what the circumstances, we had to achieve our mission. Unfortunately, Congress and Rep. Gerry Connolly routinely fail their missions and provide the same old excuses. As the representative for Virginia’s 11th Congressional District, I will tirelessly work to achieve the mission and be accountable to the voters, not special interest groups. I will represent the district, not Washington DC.”
Dove’s campaign slogan is Release the Dove. He is a strong Pro-Life supporter who is going up against one of our least favorite elected politicians, so we’re game- Release the Dove!
