Glenn Nye

Last updated

Nye won the Democratic nomination for the 2nd District and faced Thelma Drake in the November election. Nye's donations from national Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland and Representative Charles Rangel of New York, reflected the interest of the party in his race. [10] Although they endorsed his opponent in 2006, Nye was endorsed by The Virginian-Pilot in 2008. [11]

In the November election, Nye defeated Drake with 52 percent of the vote. The 2nd District saw a Democratic Party sweep in 2008, with both Barack Obama and Mark Warner winning the district in the Presidential and Senate races, respectively.

2010

Nye was defeated by Republican nominee Scott Rigell, a businessman and automobile dealer. Independent Kenny Golden, a retired Navy Captain, was also on the ballot.

Tenure

Soon after being sworn in, Nye joined the Blue Dog Coalition, a caucus of conservative Democrats. [12]

Nye voted with the Democratic majority for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 [13] and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. [14] Nye joined with 43 other Democrats to vote against the American Clean Energy and Security Act [15] in June 2009, and in November 2009, Nye voted along with 38 other Democrats against the Affordable Health Care for America Act, [16] saying that the bill did not do enough to reduce health care costs, and that it cut too much money from children's hospitals. [17] Nye also voted against the Stupak Amendment. [18]

Nye was endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business. [19]
