FORMER 10TH DISTRICT GOP CHAIR JO THOBURN ENDORSES TIM HUGO FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

Centreville, VA – Former 10th District GOP Chair Jo Thoburn announced her support for Tim Hugo’s campaign for Lieutenant Governor today and praised Hugo’s conservative background and voting record.

“Tim Hugo fought for conservative values and policies for seventeen years as a member of the House of Delegates,” Thoburn said. “As Lieutenant Governor, I know we can count on Tim to continue delivering on the issues conservatives care about. I strongly encourage all my fellow conservatives and Republicans to join me in uniting behind Tim’s campaign for Lieutenant Governor.”

“I am grateful to have Jo’s support as we work to unite our party and end the Democrats’ one party rule in Richmond,” Hugo said. “Failure at the polls this year is not an option, and our campaign is going to continue working hard everyday to put together the organization and resources we need to win in November.”

Tim is running for Lieutenant Governor to position Virginia for a 21st Century economy, bring about a strong economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, defend Virginians’ Constitutional rights, hold the line on additional tax increases, and stand up for the men and women in law enforcement.
