VA Constiturion only allows the governor to serve for a single 4-year term. The question is, will the rural parts of the State manage to elect another self-serving, brain damaged republican again.

VA governors can only serve one (consecutive) term.

Yep.

“Somebody’s got to say ‘Enough is enough,’ Robey said, adding: “These guys put that uniform on every single day — they’re there for your worst day. When is it time to stand up for them?”

There for your worst day being the day they kill you, you mean?
