On Friday, the Appomattox Republican Mass Meeting met to fulfill the requirement to choose 255 convention delegates from among the hundreds who signed up to attend.

“Whether you supported me or one of my opponents, thank you to the hundreds of Appomattox residents who attended the Mass Meeting Friday,” said Kevin Bailey, one of three candidates for the House of Delegates. “This incredible turnout showed how much enthusiasm there is for the principles embodied in our Virginia Republican Creed. The only downside to so many people showing up is that some had to be left off the list to abide by the 255 limit, but we hope everyone who signed up will come to the nominating convention on May 20th.”
