Rep. Denver Riggleman of Virginia lost to Bob Good, a former Campbell County supervisor and former employee of the Liberty University athletics department, with 42% of the vote to Good's 58%, according to results provided to CNN by 5th District Republican Committee Chairman Melvin Adams Sunday morning.All day Saturday, delegates voted in the 5th District's GOP convention by driving through the parking lot of a Lynchburg church -- a change in format due to the coronavirus pandemic.
6 million to Good's roughly $186,000 by the end of the pre-covention reporting period on May 24, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. Despite Good's previous employment at Liberty University, Riggleman had the backing of Jerry Falwell Jr., the school's president. Trump had endorsed the congressman in December, calling him a"true CONSERVATIVE leader" who would support his agenda.
