Longtime Republican Del. Joe May went unchallenged for the previous two election cycles, but now three candidates are fighting for the 33rd District House of Delegates seat. <\/p>\n
Libertarian Patrick Hagerty of Leesburg has entered the race to represent the 33rd District, which stretches from Leesburg into Clarke and Frederick counties. Hagerty facesHamiltonconservative Dave LaRock, who defeated May in the June 11 primary election, and Democrat Mary L.C. Daniel, an attorney from Berryville. <\/p>\n
Hagerty, 30, has owned a kennel just outside of Leesburg for seven years called Howl of a Good Time. He considers himself the only candidate for the 33rd District who has residents freedoms and liberties as their priorities. <\/p>\n
Washington is calling all the shots for everybody, and our last defense to intervene is Richmond, he said. Someone needs to be down in Richmond with our best interests in mind. <\/p>\n
Hagerty said even the process he went through to get the Board of Supervisors to grant him the special exception required for the operation of a kennel on his property was an example of governments mismanagement. <\/p>\n
They have all these rules and regulations, and the left hand doesnt know the right hand is doing, he said. The government is too big and has too much control. They try to micromanage everything and its counter productive. <\/p>\n
