John Chapman “Chap” Petersen

Every parent and student in Virginia owes a debt to Chap Petersen, who led in every way possible to reopen our schools. The world needs more Chaps, and I hope this book inspires them to come forward!

The COVID19 shutdown was a landmark event in Virginia history. Chap provides a unique and candid narrative of a time when both our children and real science were ignored. Read this book.

For 20 years in the Virginia General Assembly, Chap Petersen was the consummate statesman with his quick wit, whip-smart debating skills and disarming Fairfax City charm. If you want the “inside baseball” on Virginia politics during a historic time, read this book!
