AP reports Corey Stewart to run for governor

Corey Stewart, fresh off his loss at the Republican Party of Virginia’s weekend convention in Harrisonburg, will run for governor, according to the Associated Press.

Stewart, the Virginia Donald Trump state campaign manager, lost at Saturday’s convention in a tug-of-war with Cruz state director Ken Cuccinelli. In the end, Cuccinelli’s Cruz team wrangled ten Cruz delegates to attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, and Trump received three. In the battle, Stewart was bumped from the list, something he did not take lightly.

“If this slate is put forward, it will be illegitimate, and it’s going to be very, very difficult to unify the party,” Stewart said on Fredericks’ radio show. “Cuccinelli has become so arrogant. He thinks that he controls the Republican Party of Virginia.”

Stewart, who is chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors and ran unsuccessfully three years ago for lieutenant governor, mirrors Trump’s hard line against illegal immigrants.

Two-faced Stewart

The most predictable trait of Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart is his ability to do or say anything to win an election. He says one thing to some people, and says or does another thing among others. Stewart has primary opposition now and both of his faces are making grand appearances.

Stewart with one face miraculously admitted he was mistaken to oppose the changes on a Racial Profiling Law the county implemented in 2007. “I was wrong,” he said at a recent candidates’ debate. One week later the second face of Corey Stewart appeared when Stewart sent a flier to voters promoting his 2007 campaign against illegal immigrants as an accomplishment rather than a mistake. I received mine last Friday.

Corey Stewart … “I was wrong back then”

“I was wrong back then with regard to the modification of the policy,” Stewart said acknowledging his opposition to the modification of his Illegal Immigration policy was a mistake. These were the words of Chairman Corey Stewart during the April 11^th Republican Prince William County Chairman Candidate’s Debate (see video above).

Opportunities exist for McAuliffe’s struggling Hispanic Board

By Daniel P. Cortez

As the congressional clock ticks with continued inaction, Virginia and the nation seek resolutions regarding immigration reform.  Fleeing illegal Hispanic children housed in Augusta County and Prince William County, Virginia, demand compassionate but firm action as more may arrive.

This was a key topic of discussion for the Governor’s Virginia Latino Advisory Board meeting last week in Northern Virginia. The subject was as unresolvable as the group’s desire to find relevancy.
