To the Editor:

You recently received a letter from a gentleman named Brandon Howard purporting to represent the leadership of the 3rd and 4th Republican Congressional District Committees alleging that Mr. Rex Alphin, Republican candidate for the House of Delegates 64th District is not “Republican” enough for their liking.

I can assure you that they do NOT represent the leadership of the Congressional Districts or the 64th Legislative District. No one from Isle of Wight County signed that letter. Several who did sign do not live in the district concerned. The general public would do well to disregard it. No one benefits from the politics of division.

Lori Carlson, Chair
64th Republican
Legislative District Committee
