    About Me

    Lynn R. Mitchell
    Augusta County, Virginia, United States
    As SWAC Girl (an acronym for Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County), I have been a photo-blogger in the Virginia political blogosphere since 2006, currently as a contributor for Virginia Politics On Demand (VPOD) and formerly for the Washington Examiner and Bearing Drift. As a homeschool leader in the SWAC area, I spent 16 years educating my children at home and helping families exploring education options. I've been active in conservative politics and Republican leadership since 1999, and currently serve as a trustee for the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia, appointed by Governor Bob McDonnell, and for the Augusta County Library Board. A native of Chesterfield County, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is one of the most beautiful places to call home.
