Hodges v. Crowley: What a contrast!

A conservative man versus a progressive woman. A business man versus a social science academic. The lady educated in the theories of social justice, the gentleman in medical science. Hodges, an advocate for free enterprise, free markets and less government. Crowley, for more government at every level, from health care, to home ownership, wages, jobs, and the list goes on. Hodges is a constitutionalist who strongly supports the Second Amendment, while Crowley never mentions it. Crowley lacks related experience while Hodges’ accomplishments are many and a matter of public record.

Ms. Crowley is supported by the Circle Up movement, which is a spinoff group from the national resist movement. Ms. Crowley is running as much against the President as Del. Hodges because that is what the resist movement is about.

In other times, she would simply run as a Democrat. Hodges is a Republican, who is running on his record and with no other groups involved in his campaign. Ms. Crowley’s values are more about collectivism and using your taxes for funding her social justice nonsense. When reasonable people can’t understand what these social warriors are advocating, it is time to reject Sheila Crowley and her movement. Del. Hodges’ values are based on his family, church, community, conservatism and the free market.

Lastly, if you need to talk with Del. Hodges, he’s usually working at his pharmacy in Gloucester. More than likely, you’ll find Ms. Crowley at home, helping her husband plan their next socially destructive gender identity legal challenge to our schools or local government.
