Local Republican leaders are lining up to endorse Doug Ollivant for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District.

Del. Karen Hamilton, R-Orange, said in a statement she is proud to support the “fellow patriot and America First fighter.”

“Virginia is uniquely impacted by nearly every decision made in Washington, which is why it is critical that we elect bold Representatives who uphold the true conservative values stated in our Virginia Republican Creed. I’m confident that Doug will do this and put Virginians FIRST in Congress as he stands firmly with President Trump and his America First agenda,” Hamilton said in a post.

“Doug has dedicated his life to ensuring the security of our nation, and he is well equipped to defend the rights and liberties of Virginians in Washington.”

Ollivant in a statement said he was also deeply honored to receive an endorsement from Virginia State Senator Bryce Reeves, R-Orange, as well as Culpeper County Supervisors Keith Farrish and Tom Underwood.

“Their trust and confidence mean a great deal to me. This campaign has always been about the people of Virginia — about listening, showing up, and working tirelessly to represent every corner of the district,” the candidate said in a statement.

Culpeper County 2A this week hosted Ollivant for a meet-and-greet at Grill 309 on Main Street.
