Virginia Republicans gather at the Homestead

By Lynn R. Mitchell

Good people … the Thomas family. Mike, Alec, and Ashley.

Linwood Cobb … one of the most successful and respected grassroots leaders in Virginia politics. Many thanks, Mr. Chairman.

The first Ed Gillespie for Governor meeting with volunteers was held Friday afternoon. Ed 2017!

Mike and Linwood. Always working….

Adam Tolbert heads up the 9th Congressional District as their chairman.

Cathy and Frank at the registration table at the Homestead Resort — always working … always there. I honestly think without them RPV would crumble to the ground. Their dedication for the past twenty-plus years (I think this is Cathy’s 29th Advance) is very much appreciated.

Chairman of Virginia’s 6th Congressional District Wendell Walker was looking over some Jeb Bush for President 2016 materials at our table. Do you think I convinced him to support my guy….? ‪#‎AllinforJeb‬ ‪#‎Jeb2016‬

Delegate Scott Taylor is running for lieutenant governor.

Warm Springs and the back roads of Bath County, Virginia:

Many times I have taken photos in all seasons of the entrance to this estate nestled at the base of the mountain near the Homestead. A “For Sale” sign was there as we drove past this time. What a special place for someone….

Peaceful … the road to the Homestead. From our house west of Staunton we drive through Buffalo Gap toward Hot Springs. It is one of my favorite drives on the back roads through the mountains of western Virginia to one of my favorite places with my favorite guy.

Manning the Jeb Bush for President 2016 table:

We had a blast manning the Jeb Bush for President 2016 table. It was like Grand Central Station with fellow Republicans stopping by to catch up and talk politics (what else!). ‪#‎AllinforJeb‬ ‪#‎Jeb2016‬
