MIDLOTHIAN, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – A former state Senator from Chesterfield who calls herself “Trump in heels” announces intends to replace Republican 5th District Congressional nominee John McGuire in the state Senate. Amanda Chase says she currently has a contract pending on a home in Appomattox County and will be a 10th District state Senate resident by the end of July.

McGuire has not yet announced when he intends to step out of his legislative office during his run for Congress, an announcement not expected until after incumbent Congressman Bob Good’s appeal for a 5th District primary recount. But Chase has sent out an email writes “it is this seat that I will be seeking so that I can once again represent you in the Virginia Senate as the strong conservative that you’ve come to rely on and trust for the past eight years”.
