12 photos of Kirk Cox during his career in Virginia politics
Former House Speaker Kirk Cox, in his bid for the GOPâs gubernatorial nomination, set himself apart early on as the only candidate who would say President Joe Biden was duly elected.
When a glossy mailer went out attacking eventual nominee Glenn Youngkin â designed to look like Cox paid for it â he asked all of the Republican candidates to denounce negative attack spending by fly-by-night political groups.
He otherwise ran on the same conservative positions that have come to define the GOP: boosting funding and protections for police officers, walking back Democratsâ voting reforms and gun control laws, ending the teaching of systemic racism in schools, and lowering taxes. Cox opposes abortion and same-sex marriage.
Chase has been accused of voicing support for those who participated in storming the U.S. Capitol. She herself attended a rally shortly before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol but was not part of the group that later stormed the building. Chase also previously called for martial law to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The Senate’s censure resolution said she had “exhibited conduct unbecoming of a Senator during her terms in office by displaying a disregard for civility in discourse with colleagues, making false and misleading statements both in committee and on the Senate floor, and displaying a disregard for the significance of her duty to the citizens of the Commonwealth as an elected representative in the Senate of Virginia.”
