LET’S ALSO GO ALL OUT FOR WAGNER & SHANNON!
Wednesday, October 28, 2009(Arlington County Democratic Committee)
LET’S ALSO
GO ALL OUT FOR WAGNER &
SHANNON!
I
have previously written several columns about
the need for all Arlington
Democrats to work tirelessly to turnout our
vote for Creigh Deeds for
Governor. As we continue to do that in the last
days before the election,
please also spread the word to all Arlington
voters on behalf of Jody
Wagner for Lieutenant Governor and Steve
Shannon for Attorney General.
Wagner’s
and Shannon’s candidacies have not gotten as
much news coverage as
that of Creigh Deeds for Governor, and
therefore there is a risk that
some of our Democratic voters might not vote at
all in the races for
Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General.
We must do all that
we can to prevent that from happening, and get
out whopping Arlington
majorities for these two great Democratic
candidates!
Jody Wagner for Lieutenant Governor
Jody Wagner, Virginia’s former Secretary of Finance, has worked alongside our Democratic Governor, Tim Kaine, to make Virginia one of the best-managed states in America. The person who holds this job is well-positioned to be elected our Governor four years later. Wouldn’t it be great to elect a woman as Virginia’s Governor in 2012?!
Jody
is a former corporate lawyer and accomplished
small-business woman.
As Tim Kaine’s Secretary of Finance, Jody has
mastered the details
of state revenues and expenses—vital knowledge
for a Lieutenant Governor
and a prospective future Governor. As the
Washington Post recently put
it in endorsing Jody for Lieutenant Governor,
“as the only one of
the six statewide candidates to have had
hands-on experience with the
state’s budget, she would be uniquely well
placed to serve …” http://www.washingtonpost.com/
Steve Shannon for Attorney
General
During
his tenure as a Fairfax County prosecutor,
Steve Shannon focused on
cracking down on child pornographers. He also
worked with his wife to
found the metropolitan Washington chapter of
the Amber alert program—part
of a national system to locate children who
have been abducted by predators
and pedophiles. Steve also is running for
Attorney General on a platform
of protecting consumers and the environment.
Anyone
who has worked with Steve Shannon knows that he
is just what we want
in Virginia’s next Attorney General—a calm,
dispassionate, non-ideological
professional who will run the Attorney
General’s office as it ought
to be run—in the best interests of the people
of Virginia not as a
springboard for far-right-wing ideological
crusades. You can learn more

endorsement of Steve Shannon’s
candidacy at http://www.washingtonpost.com/
