Poindexter rides Pittsylvania to house seat
Republican Charles Poindexter lost to Democrat Eric Ferguson in both Floyd and Franklin counties, but trammeled his opponent so decisively in Pittsylvania that we was able to pull out a a victory the 9th house district seat by a margin thin as November frost.
Just 360 votes separated the front runners in a race where nearly 22,000 votes were cast, and an indpendent, Jerry Boothe, garnered nearly 2,100 ballots.
Ferguson just didn't bank enough votes in Floyd and Franklin to withstand the slaughter in Pittsylvania.
Congratulation Charles! Having known you all my life, I know that you will make the 9th house district seat problem's and concern's known in Richmond. You have the knowledge, and the understanding of our need's to make the right decision's for our district, and may we stand behind you for the support you need to voice our concern's.
