WINCHESTER — Former Governor and U.S. Senator George Allen was in Winchester Saturday to help Republican Jill Holtzman Vogel commence the final 72 hours of her state Senate campaign.

Holtzman Vogel, along with independent Donald Marro and Democrat Karen Schultz, is seeking to succeed retiring Sen. H. Russell Potts Jr., R-Winchester, in the traditionally Republican 27th District.

“You have no idea how exciting it is” to have reached the Saturday before “the Tuesday,” Holtzman Vogel told a group of supporters and volunteers Saturday morning at the start of her campaign’s 72-hour “Get Out the Vote” effort. “We will reach our people, and we will turn them out.”

Allen, who was accompanied by his wife, Susan, and daughter, Brooke, said “the leaves are all beautiful,” but that he really liked the “blue and white Vogel signs” outnumbering others along his route into Winchester.
