LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — Paul Siker, a Loudoun County businessman, was surprised when Democrats were not lining up to challenge the incumbent member of the House of Delegates. It was no secret that Del. Dave LaRock (R-33rd) learned far to the right on the political spectrum.
The aftermath of the November 2020 presidential election brought even greater attention to LaRock's views. He led efforts to overturn Virginia's results in the presidential election and used "colored community" to describe Black residents of Loudoun County.
