DJ McGuire ... blogger ... candidate

So I was sitting at my laptop Saturday on Bloggers Row before the start of the Virginia Republican Convention when someone slipped into the seat beside me and gave me a big old hug.

DJ.

What an exciting week for him as he transitioned from activist/blogger writing about less taxes and responsible spending ... to candidate running for less taxes and responsible spending! Receiving the Republican nomination from his fellow Republicans Thursday night after first announcing his candidacy in February, DJ's supervisor race is on.

It is wonderful to see a fellow blogger running for public office. DJ is a strong fiscal conservative who is taking that message to the people. He is willing to put the time, money, and energy into the effort to try and make a difference and get local government back on the right track.

But for Saturday he was just a friend and fellow conservative blogger hanging out with his friends and colleagues on Bloggers Row.

Come Monday, though ... he will hit the ground running for Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors. The blogger-turned-candidate will be racing toward the finish line in November ... and we wish him all the best.
