With congressional primary elections scheduled next week, Patch is profiling each of the four Republican candidates running for the U.S. Senate, who will face each other on the ballot June 12.

Issue turns into political hot potato.
Although Republican Senate candidate Jamie Radtke is rallying against a "mandatory" human papillomavirus or HPV vaccine for girls in Virginia, parents in the state may opt out of the vaccine. Under "school requirements" the Virginia health department Web site states: "After reviewing educational materials approved by the Board of Health, the parent or guardian, at the parent’s or guardian’s sole discretion, may elect for the child not to receive the HPV vaccine."

The vaccine is in the spotlight after a GOP presidential candidate debate where candidate Michele Bachman, a …
