Any relation to Gary Gilmore?
Who is this guy and why is he running for President?
Jim Gilmore was governor of Virginia, 1998-2002; and RNC chairman, 2001-’02. He was only RNC chairman for a year because he wanted to concentrate on electing conservatives, in 2002. George W. Bush and Karl Rove didn’t care about electing conservatives, so Gilmore quit, as chairman. Bush appointed Gilmore to a commission that was charged with preventing terrorist attacks. It was nicknamed the Gilmore Commission. He was an army officer, in the 1970’s. During most of that time, he was stationed in Germany, and he still speaks German, well.
While he was governor, he cut tax rates and balanced the budget, all four years. He signed a bill that requires each minor, who wants an abortion, to get consent from a parent. He would have banned almost all VA abortions, if that bill would have passed the VA legislature. He says that, if he becomes president, he’ll cut spending from every department. He wants to secure the border, a lot better, and deport a lot more illegal aliens.
