• Vacancies in the House can take as long as six months to fill, because representatives can only be replaced through a special election.

There might be a June special election.

From the article he seemed like a good fellow trying to do good. Weather you agree with his stand on issues or not we need more like him.

Oh yeah, a hell of a nice guy.....Not!

In 2019, McEachin suggested that Virginia Governor Ralph Northam should send the Virginia National Guard to close down armories and forcibly enact Dick Saslaw's proposed confiscatory ban on commonly held rifles and handguns with standard capacity magazines in counties where local law enforcement refused.

McEachin's threat to send troops to confiscate arms and close armories came in response to the ratification of Second Amendment Sanctuary Resolutions in 91 out of 95 counties, 16 out of 38 independent cities, and 42 towns.

So fuck him....I hope it hurt.
