When Mitt Romney stopped in Virginia last week he said, “This may well be the state [that] decides who the next president is.” 

At least he understands the stakes.

House Speaker John Boehner did not mean to set off a panic, but he did mean to issue a strong and loud wake-up call earlier this week when he said on Fox News that Democrats had a "one-in-three chance" of winning back the lower chamber of Congress in November.

Polls that pit President Obama against now-presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney have emerged at a furious pace in the opening week.

CivicForumPac wants to congratulate Bill Stanley (R) and Greg Habeeb (R) on their victories in Virginia's special elections yesterday.  Stanley defeated Henry Davis (D) in the race to fill Congressman-elect Robert Hurt's (R) state Senate seat.  Stanley garnered 61% of the vote to defeat Davis.  Greg Habeeb defeated Ginger Mumpower (D) in the race to fill Congressman-elect Morgan Griffith's (R) House seat in Virginia's 8th district.   Habeeb received 63% of the vote to defeat Mumpower.

At CivicForumPAC we support Republican Dean Heller in his bid to retain his U.S. Senate seat in Nevada. If you reside in Nevada and you are thinking about possibly supporting potential Democratic nominee Shelley Berkley, you might want to think twice.

CivicForumPAC is pleased to announce its endorsement for the candidacies of Bill Stanley for Virginia State Senate (VA-19) and Greg Habeeb for Virginia House of Delegates (VA-8) in the Jan. 11 special elections.

“Stanely and Habeeb are conservative voices that could prove invaluable in Richmond as the General Assembly strives to legislate fiscally rational solutions to the issues facing the Commonwealth,” CivicForumPAC Chairman Ford O’Connell said.
