Apparently, this election comes down to what independent and Democratic voters want Virginia to do for the next four years. The last debate for governor allowed Virginians to see and hear the differences
between the candidates. Clearly it is Creigh Deed’s longstanding commitment to values Virginians share, his hard work, and his vision for Virginia that is needed.
Virginia can move forward with Creigh Deed’s pragmatic, business-friendly approach. It is what worked successfully under Warner and Kaine. Continuing such a steady multi-year approach will ensure
Virginia remains the best place to start a business and raise a child.
The alternative is to permit Creigh Deed’s opponent to take Virginia backwards with policies that will jeopardize the progress working women and families have made over the years. Sunday’s Washington
Post’s detailed, analytical, and conservative minded endorsement of Creigh Deeds for governor should be read by all Virginian voters because it was focused on Virginia’s future.
