Extremely good read of an inside look at the Virginia General assembly during Covid !!!
“A great read and a unique insiders view of what happened from his perspective. Also provides a clear insight to the leftward drift of his party since Trump and how that effected the Commonwealth both positively & negatively.”
— Craig R. Stevens
What Exactly Happened? I Found Out After Reading Rebel!
“After reading Rebel, I have some answers and I am not happy about how our ability to do conduct business was hampered. Thank you Chap for shedding some light on what happened during this time. Your book was read from the first to the last word. I recommend all Virginians read Rebel.”

Chap provides a true insiders view of what happened during the COVID shutdowns in Virginia
“Sen. Peterson’s book arrived yesterday and I could not put it down. As a parent of Fairfax County Public School children the read was an emotional journey that only reenforced why Chap is a hero to so many who saw our children wither away to nothingness due to the inaction of politicians. This book is part of our history and we cannot and should not ever forget.”

A Great Inside Look at the Machinations of Local & State Politics
“I highly enjoyed reading Rebel. It’s a great inside look at the machinations of local & state politics in Virginia with interesting personal stories and a good sense of humor as well. I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in how politics works “behind the scenes” (the good, the bad, and the ugly). A+ writing by Chap!”
