Delegate Runion shares our Valley Values.
Chris Runion is a lifelong conservative Republican from the Shenandoah Valley. He grew up on a farm where his parents worked hard and raised five sons. Chris graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in accounting. After graduation Chris and his wife, Jennifer, settled in Bridgewater to start their family. While working for a large poultry company, Chris earned an MBA from James Madison University.
Later as a business owner, Chris has served in our community in a number of roles, including serving on the Rockingham Planning Commission and as president of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce.
Important characteristics of a successful representative include leadership skills, and practical experience. Possessing both, plus his pro-business stance, Chris is uniquely able to go to Richmond and work to bring some fiscal sanity to a seemingly ever-growing government, while standing strong with our “Valley Values.”
Chris has a track record in Richmond as being faithful, honest, transparent and accountable to the citizens of the 35th District.
