Days before the election for the 20th District seat in the Virginia Senate, Democrat candidate Kim Adkins received a startling message on Saturday morning.

On Saturday, staffers with Adkins’ campaign discovered an act of vandalism had been perpetrated on her Martinsville campaign headquarters, a building located at the corner of Cleveland Avenue and Market Street. The graffiti, written in orange paint, read: “Back off, Bi—-” and also featured a crudely drawn target symbol.

Stanley didn’t speculate on the culprit’s motive, though he noted that Adkins – herself a former NRA staffer – had supported an executive order recently signed by Gov. Terry McAuliffe barring guns in certain state offices and closing some purchasing loopholes.

“My opponent, despite her working for the NRA, has certainly supported gun control measures in the past,” he said. Adkins has said publicly that she was a Second Amendment supporter.
