Marjorie Clark, chair of the Seventh District Democratic Committee, has announced that James Nachman, a Richmond attorney with Nachman and Squires, will oppose Eric Cantor this fall. Mr. Nachman was nominated at a Seventh District Democratic meeting. Ms. Clark added, “I am pleased that someone of Jim’s caliber and experience has stepped forward to take on the incumbent. Jim has long been involved in the community, both in Democratic politics and in Richmond area activities. He has proven his leadership and skills and was on the teams that defeated Ollie North and that elected former delegate Shirley Cooper and State Senator Elmo Cross. Jim has been involved since his youth when he volunteered for the Hubert Humphrey presidential campaign.”
Mr. Nachman said of his recent decision, “The situation in Washington is too grave to allow the incumbent to go unchallenged. He has supported and sanctioned the failed, corrupt policies of the present administration. Young Americans are dying every day in Iraq and we deserve to know why. The President and his supporters, like Eric Cantor, have not been honest with Americans, and that‘is the least we deserve. We need leaders who will stand up for what is right, not just blindly follow political party dogma.
“I promise to make independent decisions that put my constituents first. I * will work to bring our troops home now, to make sure we have accessible, affordable health care, to provide a first class education for all our children and to keep our citizens safe from those who would terrorize us.”
Presently chair of the Richmond City Democratic Committee, Mr. Nachman is also the Worshipful Master of Fraternal Lodge #53 Masonic Lodge.
