(VIRGINIA BEACH, VA) - MAY 24, 2010 - Continuing to build upon the strength and momentum of successful Tea Party activism around the country, the Board of Directors of the Hampton Roads Tea Party (HRTP) will announce its candidate endorsement in Virginia’s Second District Congressional race. The candidate backed by the HRTP Board will be made known during the HRTP-sponsored radio show, FreedomWize, on Wednesday, May 26, between 10-11AM. FreedomWize airs each Wednesday morning on WYRM, AM1110.
“After thoroughly and thoughtfully evaluating the many candidates vying for the Second District seat,” says HRTP Founder and Chairperson Karen Miner Hurd, “the Board has decided to make a clear declaration of its support for one of them. This decision has not come easily,” adds Hurd. “But so many of our members have asked for guidance in this critical contest, we felt it our duty to let people know what we believe. While the Board of Directors doesn’t necessarily speak for the 2000+ members of the Hampton Roads Tea Party, we do want to speak to them,” Hurd explains, “as well to anyone else interested in better understanding the crowded race.”
“This is a difficult decision,” says HRTP Board member David Donis, “as we feel there are several well qualified candidates. We will endorse the one we believe will be most dedicated and effective in advancing the core Tea Party values of less government, lower taxes and the defense of the Constitution of the United States as the strongest protector of our freedom as Americans.”
Following the on-air announcement of the Board’s endorsement, news media are invited to an HRTP news conference, where HRTP Founder and Board Chair Karen Miner Hurd will explain the Board’s decision. This news conference will be held at 11:15AM, Wednesday, May 26, at the Norfolk Crowne Plaza Hotel, 700 Monticello Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia, US 23510.
