Republicans have now assured Democrat Albert Pollard the he will not get a free ride on February 19.
White Stone attorney and Town Council member Lee Anne Washington is now the Republican candidate for the 99th District House of Delegates position that was vacated one month ago, when Delegate Rob Wittman resigned from the elected position in order to begin his duties as a U.S. Congressman.

New prediction: Albert Pollard win with 75% of the vote (up from my prediction of 70%).
