Delegate Bob Marshall is a Candidate for Congress in Virginias 10th District
By Jeanine Martin
Early this week Delegate Bob Marshall will announce his candidacy for Congress in the 10th district. Prior to his decision to enter the race Marshall set a goal of finding a volunteer in every precinct to help organize his campaign. The Bull Elephant has learned that, having met the goal of securing support in every precinct in the 10th District, Marshall has made the decision to run. During his many years in the House of delegates, prior to and since redistricting, Bob has represented one-third of the current 10th district so he is very familiar with the people and the issues in the district.
Since first running for office in 1991 Marshall has won thirteen electionsmost by very large margins, up to 85%despite being out spent in every contest. Marshall is a well-known social and fiscal conservative, always vigorously opposing tax increases. He is also the author of Virginas Marriage Amendment, the Marshall-Newman Amendment, which was ratified by Virginia voters in 2006 with 57% of the vote. For more information about Bob Marshall, read his letter to supporters here.

As the author of Virginias One-Man, One-Woman Marshall-Newman Marriage Amendment, which was overwhelmingly ratified by Virginians in 2006, I believe in the Founders vision for respecting the laws of Nature and Natures God.
Equality of persons does not mean equality of behavior. I believe in and have fought for equality for all of my 23 years in Richmond, but I believe in the traditional purpose and sanctity of marriage, and believe that governments should respect the concept of traditional marriage.
I am currently taking on Democrat Attorney General Mark Herring, who is leading the assault against this Marriage Amendment, as well as ignoring other obligations and responsibilities as Virginias attorney general to enforce the state constitution and state laws. I have spent my career protecting the U.S. and Virginia constitutions, and vow to continue to do so, no matter what.
I have fought for these things because I believe in God, America, freedom, self-governance, and the power of the individual. My actions and my record reflect my beliefs. I havent spent decades with polls and focus groups, and my record speaks for itself.
