| Senator Mark Warner greets a voter |
The winner after Saturday's vote will go on to face incumbent Mark Warner (D-Alexandria) in the November general election, and possibly also Libertarian Party nominee Robert Sarvis, who is still collecting petition signatures in anticipation of a June 10 filing deadline.
The four candidates facing off in Roanoke on Saturday, June 7, are Tony DeTora, Ed Gillespie, Shak Hill, and Chuck Moss.
I have interviewed all four candidates -- although my interview with Hill was more than a year ago -- and the interviews have all been posted to Examiner.com and to Bearing Drift's podcast, "The Score." (Except, that is, for the interview with Shak Hill. The audio of that interview can be found on Virginia Politics on Demand.)
Here are links to all four interviews and to YouTube videos of the candidates' speeches at the Fifth Congressional District Republican convention, which was held on May 17 at Hampden-Sydney College near Farmville:
"GOP Senate hopeful Tony DeTora favors marijuana law reform, opposes Mark Warner"

"GOP Senate candidate Chuck Moss emphasizes technology issues, outsider status"

I will be at the convention this Saturday to report on the results and, I hope, to interview the victorious candidate after the delegates vote. Videos from that event may end up on my YouTube channel, as well. Watch my Twitter feed for breaking news reports.
