Chris Saxman to announce Senate decision this weekend

Delegate Chris Saxman will announce his decision this weekend at the Republican Advance about whether to run for the U.S. Senate nomination. Former governor Jim Gilmore is the only declared candidate at this time.

If Del. Saxman got into the race he would challenge Governor Gilmore at the Republican Convention scheduled for the end of May 2008.

"I will announce this weekend," said Saxman, 42. "The time is too compressed. We can't leave these things out there until the end of the year. It's time to move on with a decision."

Del. Saxman has a hospitality suite Friday night, and will address the group of activists Saturday afternoon following Governor Gilmore.

It is looking to be an exciting weekend.
