Thelma Drake: Republican
Phill Kellam: Democratic
If the Democratic left doesn’t stop Thelma Drake this year, the freshman Republican will probably hold onto the Virginia Beach-based 2nd District for as long as she wants.
That’s what the race between Drake and Democrat Phil Kellam, Virginia Beach commissioner of revenue since 1997, boils down to. Two years ago, when scandal forced the incumbent Republican congressman to step down, then-state legislator Drake became the late-starting, stop-gap nominee for Congress. In a district that George W. Bush carried with 58% of the vote, Drake held onto the 2nd District seat with 55%.
Thelma Drake like most Republicans wants to raise taxes to help pay for the war on terror and Phill Kellam like most democrats wants to raise taxes even higher to pay for social security and raise the salary of Cops, Teachers and other tax related carreers.
Phill Kellam in my opinion contradicts everything he says therefore obliagating me NOT to vote at all, Thelma Drake would increase taxes for the war on terror in which I do not agree and Phill Kellam is just a twit and a disgrace to politics.
What do you think?
