I have known Vinny Smith for a few years. He is a committed Christian and constitutional conservative.
He has an interesting, impressive background. He graduated from the Naval Academy and became a naval intelligence officer. He has been involved in Christian ministry for many years. He has worked in sales and marketing. He also co-owns the NC ESports Academy.
Vinny is the Constitution Party candidate for governor.
Many are focused on the governor’s race which includes Mark Robinson, Josh Stein and a couple of other third party candidates. It is interesting that the only conservatives running for governor this year happen to be African-American– i.e., Robinson and Smith.
Many– including me– very much want to avoid Josh Stein becoming governor. In spite of the polls, it is theoretically possible that Trump’s margin of victory in North Carolina might carry Robinson across the finish line.
But there is one other conundrum. A lot rides on Vinny Smith’s candidacy. If he does not get 2% of the vote, the Constitution Party loses ballot access in North Carolina under state law.
Conservative voters must choose between Mark Robinson and Vinny Smith. If you feel led to do so– or particularly if you feel you cannot vote for Robinson– then vote for Vinny Smith. There is every reason to believe he would lead as a strong conservative .
Again live in Virginia but Smith has all the qualities to make a good Governor.
Vinny’s a good man, Fred. It’s unfortunate that more will not know about his candidacy.
