Virginia Hunting Dog Alliance Endorses Ed Gillespie for Governor

"Gillespie will be there for us in the future just as he has been with us in the past.”

The Virginia Hunting Dog Alliance (VAHDA) announced their endorsement of Ed Gillespie for Virginia governor today, further solidifying Gillespie’s frontrunner status as he heads into the Republican nomination contest this June.

“As a former Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia and the Republican National Committee, a lead author of the 1994 Contract with America, and a long- time policy and communications aide to former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, Ed has always been a conservative leader,” said VAHDA CEO Kirby Burch.

“Ed has a long history as a supporter of gun rights and the 2nd Amendment. Gillespie understands the unique nature of our sport and is passionate about protecting the rights of all sportsmen, including dog hunters. Now we need to elect Ed Gillespie to be the next Governor of Virginia.

“Virginians need men and women in public office who support traditional values and will respect the Virginia rural way of life. I know Ed Gillespie. Gillespie will be there for us in the future just as he has been with us in the past.”

The Virginia Hunting Dog Alliance (VAHDA) represents a 400-year tradition in the Commonwealth with a membership of over 85,000 Virginians, representing over 180,000 Virginians in defense of hunting dog and property rights across the Commonwealth.
