"One-gun-a-Month" Joe May announces bid for Herring's Senate Seat

Virginia Del. Joe T. May (R-Loudoun) confirmed Monday that he will join the race to fill the potential vacancy of state Sen. Mark D. Herring’s 33rd district seat.

May, who has represented the 33rd House district for more than 20 years, lost his seat in the June Republican primary to conservative Dave LaRock in a startling upset. Following May’s unanticipated defeat, there was widespread speculation about whether he would run for office again as an Independent candidate.

May campaign spokesman Jon Conradi said the veteran politician planned to formally announce his candidacy at a news conference in Sterling Monday afternoon.

In a prepared statement Monday, May touted his experience over 10 terms in office and his politically moderate background.

Though May does not currently live in the 33rd Senate District, Conradi said Monday that May plans to have a residence in the district before the end of the week.

Will Joe be sending me a check so I can buy one gun a month?

Will it be from his personal funds or is he planning on cutting some other program to fund this with tax dollars?

How much will I get as a monthly gun budget? And more importantly, how many months' worth can I save up if I want something purdy?

After one or two years, will I be allowed to spend my monthly allotment to buy a new safe instead of a gun?

stay safe.
