From Roanoke.com:
Bill Stanley, a Franklin County attorney and Republican activist, won his party’s nomination Tuesday for the state Senate seat that will be vacated by U.S. representative-elect Robert Hurt, R-Chatham.
Stanley topped five GOP candidates to win a districtwide canvass and will be on the ballot for the Jan. 11 special election. Hank Davis, chairman of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, is the Democratic nominee. The winner of the special election will complete the remaining year of Hurt’s Senate term.
Hurt was elected to Congress on Nov. 2, defeating incumbent Democrat Tom Perriello of Albemarle County.
