From the Richmond Times-Dispatch: 3rd candidate for 1st District seat:
A third candidate has qualified for the ballot in the special congressional election in the 1st District.
The State Board of Elections said Lucky R. Narain of Yorktown, an independent, filed about 1,500 signatures of registered voters. A total of 1,000 are required.
Narain said he will announce his candidacy next week. He described himself as a conservative.
You just got my attention!
Also running are Democrat Philip Forgit of Williamsburg and Del. Robert J. Wittman, R-Westmoreland.
Someone I disagree with on every issue (who has to be a better person than Wittman) and a complete freakin’ mook.
They are vying for the seat of Republican Rep. Jo Ann Davis, who died Oct. 6.
The special election will be held Dec. 11.
The district reaches through 23 counties and cities from the eastern end of Fauquier County through the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula to Newport News.

Spoke to Lucky a couple of days ago. While he does not have a big political machine (party) behind him, he sounded very energetic and optomistic. He’s definitely in it to win it! A member of the Army Reserves, this young legal beagle has a heart for Veterans, Teachers and conservative values. Although he is not the most experienced candidate in this race, I’m confident he is going to make a difference. He has my vote and I wish him the best!
