Local Leaders Announce Support for George Allen 

Henrico, VA –Today, local leaders from around the Commonwealth announced their endorsement of George Allen for U.S. Senate, citing his strong record of success in cutting taxes, reducing the size of government, fighting unfunded mandates and working alongside local officials to implement pro-growth policies that promote the entrepreneurial spirit.

“The years of out of control spending in Washington have to stop. We need smaller government, not more regulations. We need to grow jobs, not deficits. We need stronger national and regional competitiveness to create jobs, not suppression of the free market. George Allen gets this and this is why Virginia needs George Allen in the U.S. Senate.” – Alicia Hughes, Alexandria Councilwoman

“Senator George Allen has been a staunch supporter of the literal meaning of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  He has been a fiscal conservative and strong supporter of Virginia’s federal facilities and military bases.  Washington needs this kind of leadership to help us to continue to climb out of the recession.”   – Stan Clark, Board of Supervisors, Isle of Wight County

“Governor Allen led Virginia with distinction as Governor and will bring common sense problem-solving skills to the U.S. Senate. Governor Allen understands the Jeffersonian principles upon which this country was founded, and upon which it can grow and prosper in the 21st Century.  I look forward to helping him return to the U.S. Senate.” - John C. Cook, Braddock District Supervisor, Fairfax County

“In the proud history of the great Commonwealth of Virginia, George Allen stands out as one of our greatest and most accomplished leaders. We need him back in the United States Senate to fight for Virginia families and jobs, to vote against runaway government spending, and to keep America safe. Loudoun County will be a key battleground in next year’s Senate race, and George Allen has my full support.”  - Scott York, Chairman, Loudoun County Board of Supervisors

“The most dynamic and effective leader with whom I have ever worked and I am excited to elect George Allen to the U.S. Senate.”  - Woody Harris, Emporia City Council

“It is with great pleasure that I enthusiastically endorse Governor George Allen in his bid to represent Virginia in the United States Senate. As a county Supervisor, I know firsthand how we have to watch every dollar that we spend while balancing the needs of public safety and our schools. With our eye to the federal government, our Board is very aware that reckless spending at the federal level will have negative impacts on our local government. Governor Allen has a record both as Governor and as Senator of sound management and leadership. More importantly, he is the voice we need today as we face very challenging economic times.” - Susan Stimpson, Stafford County Supervisor
