Questions continue to swirl as to why State Senator Amanda Freeman Chase (I/R) either failed to post this endorsement or removed said endorsement from her official State Senator social media page last week. There was no communication from the campaign regarding the situation however the endrosement was shared in multiple groups via social media including various fan pages of Chase.
Critics of the endorsement called it "rather timely" due to the recent protest events in Richmond and recent criticism Chase has garnered regarding her "white history" comments addressing the Confederate monument issue. No picture of the the two is posted on the Chase page nor was one easily found for this post.
The endorsement was posted on he VA-02 primary candidates page in the day leading up to he Primary Tuesday.
Chase has not endorsed often. Chase has endorsed Delegate Nick Freitas (R) in VA7 yet that endorsement does not seem to appear on the Nick Freitas for Congress site along with his other endorsements.
Constitutents raised the question post election after State Senator Chase posted a picture of herself with Representative Scot Taylor (R) after the primary on Tuesday. Taylor won the primary for the VA-02 and had he endorsement of Presiden Trump. Much of Chase's campaign thus far appears centered around rallying such elements as the Virginia Freedom Caucus which is a social media group that outwardly opposed Taylor. Taylor lost his seat in 2018 to Representative Elaine Luria (D).
The primary result on Tuesday creates a re-match this Fall as Taylor (R) and Luria (D) will face off once again in the VA-02.
We will update this post once any information is released from the communications director of he Chase campaign.
Amanda Freeman Chase (I/R) is running for Governor of Virginia in 2021.
