Bailey, McNamara win Chamber PAC backing
Mike Bailey and Joe McNamara have won endorsements from the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce political action committee in their bids to be Republican Party nominees for Roanoke County Board of Supervisors.
Bailey, a retired businessman, is seeking the GOP nod for the Hollins District seat, running against longtime activist Al Bedrosian. The district’s Planning Commission representative, Gary Jarrell, is running as an independent. Incumbent Richard Flora is not running.
McNamara, who served on the board until his defeat in the 2009 primary, is seeking the party’s nomination for the Windsor Hills seat, running against RoxAnne Christley, president of the Roanoke Valley Republican Women’s Club. The incumbent supervisor, Ed Elswick, is running as an independent.
County Republicans will select nominees for the three supervisor seats up for election this year at party canvasses scheduled at three separate locations on May 11. So far, only planning commission member Jason Peters has announced a candidacy for the Vinton district seat.

It sure is good to see someone run against Elswick. He is a very childish person, running away when things do not go his way. Seems that every issue comes up he wants to hire a professional to solve it. If he can’t solve problem he should not be on the board. He is one of the worst we have ever had..
Christley has her work cut out for herself.
Look fellas, if you are not going to man the blog, take the darn thing down and just do press releases.
Mike Bailey is a super-good guy, smart and a hard worker, best of luck to him!
I became aware of Mike Bailey through the Roanoke Times. He spoke against ICELEI, the UN Agenda 21, that threatens our freedoms and unalienable rights. That got my attention. We need to elect folks at the grass root level who are aware of the dangers in accepting such sellouts.
Thank you, Mike, for running for Supervisor. All the folks in the Hollins district are lucky to have you.
