35. " said former attorney general Jerry Kilgore, the Republican who Kaine defeated in 2005."

I'm sure the Washington Post meant to say "the Republican [font color=red]whom[/font] Kaine defeated in 2005."

Anyway....

Jerry Kilgore's son nephew Kyle was a delegate to the Republican convention. He was among the youngest of delegates.

Terry Kilgore

Terry Gene Kilgore (born August 23, 1961) is an American politician. A Republican, he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1993, and became chair of the Commerce and Labor committee in 2008. He currently represents the 1st district in the far southwestern corner of the state, near Cumberland Gap.[1]

Kilgore's twin brother, Jerry Kilgore, was Attorney General of Virginia 2002–2005, and was the unsuccessful Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia in 2005, losing to Tim Kaine. Kilgore's mother, Willie Mae Kilgore, was the registrar of voters in Kilgore's home jurisdiction, Scott County, until December 2008.[2] He has two children, Kayla Wright Kilgore and Kyle Bellamy Kilgore.

Cruz-Supporting Delegates Picked in Virginia District Trump Won

by Michelle Cho

Wytheville, VA — Despite Donald Trump winning Virginia on Super Tuesday, two of three delegates elected in the first district convention here are supporters of rival Ted Cruz — which could matter if a second ballot were to take place at the national convention.

In the 9th congressional district, Donald Trump took over 47 percent of the votes on Super Tuesday. In Virginia's primary for this district, Ted Cruz won only about 19 percent of the votes.
....

"I want to vote for a conservative and that's what I know I'm getting with Ted Cruz. And with Donald Trump, it's a question mark," delegate Kyle Kilgore of Gate City told NBC News.

Kilgore says he will support Ted Cruz in the second ballot if it arises, because of his conservative principals.
