Danville Councilman Lee Vogler, set on fire in a personal attack, is called a Republican by Young Virginia Republicans. His non-partisan role and bipartisan work blur party lines, with police saying the motive wasn’t political.

Danville City Councilman J. Lee Vogler, 38, was confronted by a man at his office around 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, who then poured gasoline on him. Once they both left the building, Vogler was then set on fire.
