Jim Gilmore in Staunton on Monday

Former Governor Jim Gilmore, who is challenging Mark Warner for the U.S. Senate seat, will be in Staunton on Monday, July 7, for a fundraiser reception to meet and greet with local supporters.

Arriving at Rowe's Restaurant at 3:15 pm, Gov. Gilmore will spend time talking with supporters about the next few months and how we will win over Warner.

These are challenging times for our country. We are threatened by terrorism, concerned about a difficult war, stuck in traffic, dissatisfied with how our children are educated; and too often our culture seems more interested in the latest doings of tabloid celebrities than the debates that could decide our country's future.

Jim Gilmore understands that it's time for a change! We can do better, and we have to.

Virginia's legacy of solid principles and values are ingrained in the former Governor: family, patriotism, justice, free enterprise, defense of our nation.

These are Virginia values: the ideals of his youth, and the hope of our future. Jim Gilmore is not going to be about labels, and "us against them." He's about applying these great principles for the good of Virginia, and the good of the nation. That's who he is, and that's why he's running to represent Virginians, all of them, in the United States Senate.

This stop is one of a number planned along the I-81 corridor on Monday and Tuesday as the Governor connects up with Western Virginia.
