Dole Will Campaign With Oliver North
- Share via
RICHMOND, Va. — Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, who once appeared hesitant to endorse Republican Senate candidate Oliver L. North, has agreed to join him on the campaign trail.
“I’m looking forward to barnstorming Virginia in support of his candidacy on Monday,” the Kansas senator said in a statement Friday.
Dole will appear with North in Alexandria, Norfolk, Salem and Richmond as part of a tour on behalf of Southern GOP candidates.
North is running for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Charles S. Robb. Former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and former state Atty. Gen. J. Marshall Coleman are running as independents.
Dole did not immediately endorse North after he was nominated, and met with Coleman in June.
