reported the issue hurt Sen. Miller’s campaign.
Sen. Miller maintains, however, that it is the “pressure of an increasing workload in my law practice (he is a partner in the Harrisonburg firm of Litten, Sipe & Miller) and other business activities” that are “rapidly” intruding upon the “time I need for my family and to serve properly my constituents.”
Sen. Miller was first elected to the General Assembly as a delegate from the 16th District in 1972. In 1975 he was elected to the Senate from the 26th District, the post he now holds.
Candidates for Miller’s seat are expected to start popping up like dandelions in the front yard.
On the Democratic side, the possibilities include Rappahannock’s Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas K. Baumgardner; David Ingram of Culpeper, part-time farmer and former president of the National Bank and Trust Company in Culpeper who is currently affilliated with Wheat First Securities of Fredericksburg; Harrisonburg optometrist Ernest Schlabach, former senatorial candidate defeated by Miller last year; Roger Ritchie, Harrisonburg attorney and • unsuccessful candidate for the House of Delegates last November and former Madison County Sheriff Carroll Lilian!.
The hopefuls in the Republican ranks are A1 Cramer of Culpeper, State GOP Party Chairman and unsuccessful candidate for the Senate in 1971; Harrisonburg attorney David Hatmaker and Culpeper’s George Beard, Delegate in the General Assembly and president of the Second National Bank in Culpeper.
