Bill Bolling

Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling is touting the support of more than 100 Republican activists for his 2013 gubernatorial campaign, just three days before the party’s governing body decides whether to change the GOP nominating process for next year’s statewide elections.

The state GOP’s state central committee will meet Friday in Richmond to decide whether to scrap plans for an open primary and instead hold a convention. Bolling wants to party to stick to its plans for a primary. His rival for the GOP nomination, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, prefers a convention.

“During my 20 years in elected office I have fought for conservative values and established a strong conservative record of results,” Bolling said in a news release. “Now, I am ready to lead Virginia as Governor. I’m proud to have the support of these grassroots Republican leaders from all across the Commonwealth.  Their endorsement is representative of the broad support my campaign enjoys from conservative leaders in Virginia, including Governor Bob McDonnell. With their support I will continue working hard to provide common sense, conservative leadership for the people of Virginia.”

Read on for the full list of supporters, which includes current and former party leaders from the Roanoke and New River valleys.
