Senate District 10
VCDL-PAC enthusiastically endorses Delegate John McGuire for Virginia’s Senate District 10. John has a 100% voting record representing the 56th district in Virginia’s House of Delegates since he was first elected in 2017 and has been a reliable ally in Richmond.
Delegate McGuire has also introduced some hard-hitting 2A bills during his time in the legislature. While Duane Adams, Jack Dyer, and Sandy Brindley all turned in Very Pro-Gun Surveys, we believe John McGuire, with his solid voting record, is the best choice in the new Senate District 10 to preserve and protect our gun rights here in the Commonwealth. The Senate in Virginia needs strong leadership to roll back some of the egregious restrictions we saw under the Northam Administration. John McGuire will provide that leadership, just as he did as a Navy Seal protecting this country.
Delegates to the 10th Senate District Convention, please vote for John McGuire on May 6th.
Polling location:
Buckingham County High School

Senate District 12
VCDL-PAC proudly endorses Amanda Chase. Amanda has represented Senate District 11 for 2 terms. She holds a 100% voting record during her terms in office and has carried many hard-hitting 2A bills. She is now re-districted into Senate District 12. Senator Chase’s 2023 survey was rated Very Pro-Gun.
The Virginia Senate currently has an anti-gun majority. We can’t roll back Northam’s 2020 and 2021 gun- control packages without winning this seat. It is a must win. While Tina Ramirez and Glen Sturtevant have turned in Very Pro-Gun surveys, and Glen Sturtevant has apologized for voting wrong on a couple of bills when he was a Senator, we know we can count on Amanda Chase to vote to preserve our 2A rights because she has demonstrated this time and again.
If you live in Senate District 12 please vote for Amanda Chase on Tuesday, June 20 in the State Primary at your regular polling location.
Senate District 17
VCDL-PAC proudly endorses Emily Brewer. Emily has represented House District 64 since 2018. In 2023, she introduced a bill for VCDL to allow those with CHPs to carry in Capitol Square and state buildings.
Her survey was rated Very Pro-Gun.
Now that Emily Brewer is running in Senate District 17, we need her leadership on the other side of the legislature. Taking back the Virginia Senate this year is key to moving the pro 2A agenda through the legislature. The log jam in committees will be broken and newly elected Senator Brewer needs to be there.
While Hermie Sadler was also rated as Very Pro-Gun on his survey, Emily Brewer has a solid track record that we have to take into consideration.
If you live in Senate District 17 please vote for Emily Brewer on Tuesday, June 20 in the State Primary at your regular polling location.

Louisa County Sheriff
VCDL-PAC proudly endorses Donald Lowe for Louisa Sheriff. During the time that Donald Lowe has been Sheriff of Louisa County we've seen the CHP fee reduced to the minimum required by state law. Louisa County offers concealed handgun permit classes taught by the Louisa County Sheriffs Office. While Tim Sansone turned in a Very Pro-Gun survey, too, Sheriff Lowe has a track record that we must recognize.
If you live in Louisa County please vote for Donald Lowe at the Republican Mass Meeting on May 8th.
