Bob Good Challenges Primary Loss to John McGuire by 374 Votes, Files for Recount

Jul 13, 2024, 06:47 PM

Bob Good, the ousted Chair of the House Freedom Caucus, has announced his intention to challenge the results of his recent primary election loss to Virginia state Senator John McGuire. McGuire claimed victory with a narrow margin of 374 votes. Good has filed a recount petition by the 5 pm deadline and paid the filing fee, though the total cost of the recount remains undetermined. Good has requested to repurpose funds to help pay for his recount. He has stated that if the recount is unsuccessful, he will resign early as Chair of the Freedom Caucus. He also mentioned that he had informed the board weeks earlier of his intention to step down if he did not win the primary. This development marks the first time a Freedom Caucus Chair has lost a primary election and will be replaced less than halfway through the two-year term.
