Corey Stewart, who is working as Donald Trump’s campaign manager in Virginia, and who is also mounting a campaign for Virginia Governor in 2017, has urged other Republicans also running for Virginia Governor next year to work together to get Trump elected president.
Here’s Stewart’s emailed statement to reporters this morning:
Today, candidate for Governor and Chairman of the Trump campaign Corey Stewart called on Virginia’s Gubernatorial Candidates to join him in directing their full focus on electing Donald J. Trump in November. He released the following statement:
“With 56 days left, I am urging all Virginia’s gubernatorial candidates to join me in a common mission of electing Donald J. Trump- while putting our own campaigns on the back-burner. This is an invitation to support Trump’s candidacy by speaking at candidate rallies, attending local Trump events, and showing support publicly. We all know what’s at stake. We have closed the gap, and we are now neck-and-neck with Hillary here in Virginia and around the country. There is no time to waste. We must put our differences aside and declare- loudly and clearly, that we are one Republican Party of Virginia, united behind Donald J. Trump and all of our candidates. I look forward to joining all of our candidates for statewide office, and the great people of our state in fighting to be victorious on November 8th.” -Corey Stewart
We’ve asked for statements from other Republican candidates seeking to become Virginia’s next governor, to include Congressman Rob Wittman, Virginia Senator Frank Wagner, and former U.S. Senate candidate Ed Gillespie.
We’ll post them here if we receive them.
Stewart is also the Prince William County Board of Supervisors At-large Chairman.
