Sansom: First the Realtors, now the homebuilders
McGuigan gets contribution from Greene GOP chair Greene County Board of Supervisor (BOS) At-Large candidate Todd M. Sansom has received another large contribution from a political action committee (PAC) tied to developers. His opponent, Francis X. McGuigan, MD, also has accepted contributions from two county residents including the chair of the county’s Republican committee. In the latest campaign finance report filed October 29, 2023 with the Virginia State Board of Elections for the period October 1-26 Sansom reported receiving $1,000 from Charlottesville-based Blue Ridge Homebuilders Association Shelter PAC. Previously, Sansom picked up a $5,000 contribution from the PAC of Virginia Realtors. When the contribution became public knowledge, the candidate said he planned to donate to a local Greene County church. He also received $200 from United Christian Academy teacher and Rapidan Baptist Church Pastor Jeffrey N. Tucker, who resides in Madison County. Tucker’s contribution was recorded on October 18 while the PAC contribution came in to the campaign on October 19. The report also states the campaign has a war chest of $7,428.38. Among Dr. McGuigan’s contributors in the latest reporting period are GOP Chair Charles Covington and Steven Phillips. Both are Stanardsville residents. Covington donated $254 and Phillips, $2,000. Dr. McGuigan has a balance of $882.70 left in his campaign coffers.
