$9-Million Republican Primary Va 5th

-
Message to Va-5th Voters from Bob Good:
“We are just about 30 days before the June 18th primary election, with early voting going on now. This is the hottest race in the country with approximately $9 Million to be spent (or more!) before its over. Already, $5 million in negative ads are running against me with millions more being pledged to ensure the Washington Uni-party gets the candidate they want to be your representative in Congress. I have been saying all along that this seat belongs to YOU. It’s your seat and it’s not for sale.”

"The Freedom Caucus chair now wants the speaker’s help. Yes, you read that right.
Rep. Bob Good is the second straight chair of the conservative bloc to face political peril. This time it’s coming from within his own party.
Embattled Freedom Caucus chief courts an unexpected ally: Mike Johnson - POLITICO
-
The House Freedom Caucus has long hammered Republican speakers, and some of its members even helped oust one. That includes the group’s leader — who’s now imploring the new Republican speaker for help saving his seat.
-
It gets more awkward from there. Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) is asking Speaker Mike Johnson for assistance. But as allies to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy vividly remember, the ex-GOP leader spent $2 million to help Good win in 2020, only to watch the conservative rebel help toss McCarthy overboard three years later.
-
The embattled Good now wants Johnson’s endorsement and a pledge not to help his primary opponent, who’s trying to turn support for former President Donald Trump into a wedge issue with the base. Good’s challenger is a major threat to the second-term Freedom Caucus chief’s future in Congress — and as center-right colleagues gang up on him, help from Johnson and his allies could be a major boon."
