Where is that from? Do you have a link?
The following is from VCDL's email from yesterday:
"Statewide Results:
Governor - Republican: Ed Gillespie, just edged out Corey Stewart by a
little over 1%. Ed answered his VCDL Candidate Survey "Pro-Gun." Corey
answered "Very Pro-Gun." Senator Frank Wagner came in a distant third.
Senator Wagner also answered his survey "Very Pro-Gun" and has an
excellent voting record."
I saw no where in their email where they stated what you are saying.
I also want to remind everyone that Ted Cruz answered their survey as "Pro-Gun" as opposed to "Very Pro-Gun"

That was posted by Bob Sadler over on the VCDL-PAC Facebook page and now appears gone ( but not sure because when the updated version came out I have had all kinds of problems finding old posts from groups I am in) so it wouldn't surprise me if they scrubbed it and it wouldn't be the first time they tasted foot.
Edit* here it is i did find it on mobile:
***A word from the Chairman***
The best candidate for gun ownership and self-defense rights came up just 1.26% short. 4,600 out of 316,000 votes cast! So, what do we do now? Corey Stewart himself has the right answer.
He isn't even talking recount. He is already pledging to vote the ticket. What a stand-up guy! HOWEVER, while HE pledges loyalty, he DOES NOT advocate YOU just handing your support to the Gillespie campaign. Ed Gillespie has failed on many levels to reach out to his base. Corey feels that to blindly hand your support over, just to avoid Ralph Northam is suicidal. If we do THAT, the Republican apparatus of Va will CONTINUE to be arrogant, abusive, and non-responsive. The campaign MUST reach out to the disenfranchised who voted for Corey, and for Senator Wagner.
You have four choices:
1. Vote Gillespie because the party says so, or you're terrified of Northam. As said, suicidal, and self-perpetuating.
2. Vote Libertarian. Does that automatically mean four years of being governed by a potted plant? Probably. The alternative is living with #1 for the rest of your life.
3. Write in Corey Stewart. Or Bryce Reeves, he's a good guy. Put both LG candidates back on the ticket! See #2. (If you really want to piss off the RPV, write in Chuck Smith for AG while you're at it!)
4. Demand that Gillespie EARN YOUR VOTE! REFUSE to hand it to him by default. Pin him down and FORCE him to take a strong stand for all the things that Corey fought for. Tell the whole rotten stinking mess that you are DONE being ignored. Be willing to risk it all, by letting the Demos hold the office for another four years, if the campaign and the party don't TAKE A STAND.
None are pleasant. The last one is the most difficult, but probably the only one that you will be able to live with. VCDL-PAC has always been non-partisan. As an Independent, it will always be while I'm in charge. I'm prepared to follow Corey's lead. Will you?
