I’d like to offer my recommendations on the House of Delegates races.
13th District: I’m supporting Del. Bob Marshall, a man of faith, family and freedom who puts the interests of our community first. His opponent, John Bell, is an Obama liberal. Bell supports overturning
the marriage amendment and will impose higher taxes. He’s completely out of step with our community.
50th District: I’m also supporting Del. Jackson Miller, a solid conservative who works hard for his district and small businesses. His opponent, Jeanette Rishell, is very liberal and so wildly out of step with
the people of Manassas and Prince William that it defies elaboration
51st District: I’m supporting my fellow veteran Rich Anderson, a retired USAF Colonel and a decorated veteran. Rich is running against first-term Del. Paul Nichols, a big supporter of Obama’s national
agenda and a person who I’ve recently learned — at the Prince William Bar Association debate — has quite an emotional side; one that landed him an arrest in North Carolina for assaulting a police
officer in 2006. While he wasn’t convicted, he wouldn’t have been arrested at all if he had simply elected to be polite, cooperate and not make a scene. By his own admission he made a huge error in
judgment by getting out of the car and challenging the police. Now he says he’s the victim. In contrast, Rich is calm, people-focused, and sober-minded, possessing the conservative values voters expect.
Rich opposes the Democrat’s plans for higher taxes, and unlike Nichols, won’t support laws that permit felons re-entry to school campuses.
52nd District: I’m supporting a very bright and common-sense conservative, Rafael Lopez, over his liberal opponent, Luke Torian. Rafael is the only person in this race who has actually served his
community as an elected leader. Unlike Mr. Torian, who wants more government and supports civil unions, Rafael will stand by small businesses, control spending and support families.
If you want responsible government that focuses on core areas of responsibility without raiding your pocketbooks and exploding government, vote Republican on Nov. 3.
