GERMANNA HOSTS DEBATE BETWEEN REPUBLICAN ATTORNEY GENERAL CANDIDATES MONDAY NIGHT AT 7 AT DANIEL TECHNOLOGY CENTER IN CULPEPER


Republican attorney generals consistently end up becoming GOP candidates for governor

The three Republican candidates for attorney general will debate in Culpeper on Monday night.

The debate, at Germanna Community College's Daniel Technology Center, will be moderated by former Republican attorney general Jerry Kilgore.

The candidates are state Sen. Ken Cuccinelli of Fairfax; John Brownlee, a former U.S. attorney for Virginia's Western District; and former Arlington County School Board member Dave Foster.

All three candidates are scheduled to participate.

The Republican Party will choose its candidate at a convention May 30.

The debate begins at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public, and sponsored by the Republican committees of Culpeper, Orange and Madison counties.

I hope that the good folks of Culpepper County will ask some tough questions of the candidates. The AG's job is a technical one, and it is a job for a real lawyer with significant high-level government experience, and specifically with prosecution experience on both the civil side and the criminal side.
