“I’ve known Lyle Carver for over 15 years, and I have worked closely with him during my time as a prosecutor, as an attorney in private practice, and as Amherst County’s representative in both Richmond and in Washington. I had many opportunities to see Lyle‘s passion for the law and dedication to justice for the people of Amherst up close. Under the leadership of Lyle Carver, the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney has worked diligently on behalf of victims of crime to deliver justice to the citizens of Amherst County. No one will fight harder for the citizens of Amherst than Lyle Carver. Please join me in supporting Lyle Carver for reelection as Amherst County’s Commonwealth’s Attorney.”

– U.S. Congressman Ben Cline

“Amherst County Commonwealth’s Attorney Lyle Carver shares my belief in “victim-first, criminal last” policy stances. Our offices have worked together countless times on issues that directly effect the public safety of Central Virginia. In his continued effort to prosecute dangerous criminals, Lyle has continually worked to make Amherst County a safer community. I am proud to endorse CA Carver for his re-election.”

– Attorney General Jason Miyares

“Lyle has been a strong supporter and tremendous advocate for conservative values in Richmond. I know he is a phone call away with any questions about pending legislation and what is needed to improve our criminal justice system. I trust him as Ronnie did to fight for justice in Amherst County. Please join me in supporting my friend, Lyle Carver, for Commonwealth’s Attorney.”

– Delegate Ellen Campbell

“I am proud to endorse my friend, Lyle Carver for Commonwealth’s Attorney of Amherst. Lyle has fought hard to protect our communities from drunk drivers, criminals, and violent offenders. He is a skilled trial attorney and passionate about conservative values in Richmond. I trust him implicitly to continue to work hard for the citizens of Amherst County.”

– Senator Mark Peake

“As a career prosecutor of nearly 23 years, with the last 4 years as the  Commonwealth’s Attorney for Appomattox County, I am writing to provide a  letter of support for the re-election of one of my good friends and  fellow Commonwealth’s Attorney, Lyle Carver, incumbent Republican for  Commonwealth’s Attorney of Amherst County. I have had the pleasure and  honor of knowing Lyle for a number of years and know his character is  impeccable.  He is a staunch conservative and am quite familiar with his  doggedness in the courtroom to see that fairness, integrity, and  justice are the end result. He truly knows that some people merely need  probation, some jail time, and still others need long term incarceration  in prison and has the experience to distinguish those cases, making him  a true minister of justice.  He is extremely pleasant, articulate, insightful, intelligent, and clearly has shown a temperament associated with leading other prosecutors and has earned their respect.  Lyle has  successfully prosecuted some of the vilest and heinous felonies that  prosecutors deal with and has the confidence needed to remain in the top  prosecutor job and make the difficult decisions incumbent upon that  position. There is absolutely no hesitation in my belief that he is  the most qualified candidate by far and could effortlessly try any  criminal case and master any task set before him as the elected  Commonwealth’s Attorney.  Lyle Carver and his family are long time  members of the community and know of its needs. While I am not from the  Twenty-fourth Judicial Circuit, I felt it important to write on not only  Lyle’s behalf but also for all the people who would be positively  impacted by him that do reside in Amherst County. It is extremely  important to maintain the continuity of the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s  Office for the safety and well-being of victims and law-abiding citizens  of Amherst so please, let me encourage you to go to the polls on  November 7 and vote for the re-election of Lyle Carver, Republican for Amherst County Commonwealth’s Attorney.  Thank you”

– Leslie M. “Les” Fleet, Commonwealth’s Attorney For Appomattox County

“Experience and leadership are necessary qualities of an effective Commonwealth’s Attorney. Experience developed from years of criminal trial practice is invaluable when prosecuting the most serious and complex cases as well as when leading other attorneys in the office who turn to the Commonwealth’s Attorney for guidance. Leadership requires making difficult decisions grounded in the facts, law, and ethics. Lyle Carver possesses these qualities and has used them in his 15 years as a prosecutor with 8 of those years in service to the citizens of Amherst County as your Commonwealth’s Attorney. I ask that you re-elect Lyle Carver this November.”
