Former NASCAR driver and wrestling promoter Hermie Sadler is set to run for the Virginia state Senate. The sports entertainer turned entrepreneur will be the Republican party candidate for the 17th state Senate District, Virginia. Hermie Sadler has officially kick-started his campaign and raised more than $125,000.

Hermie Sadler entered the senate running to get more representation in his county in the senate. He said, “We can’t let this opportunity pass by to have more focus and attention put on areas in and around Southside Virginia because, in my view, this area has been underrepresented in the Senate for way too long,”.

Sadler wishes to stand in and fight for the region’s problems. He said, “We have our own set of problems and our own set of needs, and I feel like somebody needs to stand up and make sure those needs are heard and represented in the Senate of Virginia. That’s why I have decided to get off the sidelines and get in the race,”.
