Virginia Leaders Announce Support for George Allen

Henrico, VA –Today, leaders from across the Commonwealth announced their endorsement of George Allen for U.S. Senate, citing his strong, successful record implementing pro-growth policies to help businesses create jobs.

George Allen’s Blueprint for America’s Comeback will reinvigorate our entrepreneurial spirit by making America more competitive, unleashing our energy resources and peeling back harmful, punishing regulations stifling job growth. 

Senator Richard Stuart, Montross

“George Allen is a proven leader who will stand strong for his conservative principles and fight for the voices and values of Virginians.  This will be a pivotal election that will have a major impact on the future of our nation.  The choice is clear, we can continue down the same path that has left us with more than 9% unemployment, massive debt and weak job growth, or we can take control of our own destiny by making America more competitive, unleashing our energy resources and restoring the American Dream.   Earlier this week the Democrats made it clear that they stand with Washington by supporting what could be the largest tax increase proposal in our nation’s history.   George Allen knows that growing government won’t solve our problems.  We need new ideas and pro-growth solutions, not more of the same.  That’s why I am proud to announce my strong support for George Allen and his campaign for U.S. Senate.”

Senator Jill H. Vogel, Winchester

“George Allen is the small government fiscal conservative that Virginia needs in the U.S. Senate and I am proud to give him my endorsement.  After nearly three years and 31 consecutive months of unemployment, it’s clear that the trajectory of big federal spending has been a massive failure.  Despite the devastating financial casualties suffered by businesses and families, Tim Kaine earlier this week decided to stand with President Obama to support another $1.5 trillion job-crushing tax hike and the same failed stimulus policies that we know don’t work.  George Allen has the pro-growth plan we need to create millions of jobs and get our economy back on track.  He has a long track record of success passing pro-growth reforms that help businesses create jobs and I look forward to his leadership in the U.S. Senate.”

Delegate Mark Cole, Fredericksburg

“It’s clear that Washington has no idea how to fix this economy and spur job growth.  We need a proven conservative leader like George Allen back in the U.S. Senate to rein in this over-reaching federal government and fight for the pro-growth policies that will get us back on track.   Virginia can’t afford to continue the same failed policies that left us with unemployment stuck over 9% and a dragging economy that isn’t creating jobs at the pace we need.  I am proud to announce my full support for George Allen, he is a strong common sense conservative and he will fight for Virginia’s values.”

Delegate Joe May, Leesburg

“George Allen is exactly the kind of common sense fiscal conservative we need fighting for our values in the U.S. Senate.  With national unemployment stuck at 9%, we need someone with a proven track record of promoting economic prosperity.  As Governor, George Allen helped create an environment in Virginia that added 300,000 new private sector jobs.   George Allen understands what it takes to revitalize the American economy, and I am proud to offer my full support.”

Delegate T. Scott Garrett, Lynchburg

“I firmly believe that we need strong, common sense conservatives representing us in Washington.  That is why I support George Allen for U.S. Senate. Governor George Allen is a common sense conservative who has stood up for Virginia’s families, fighting for economic freedom and our children’s future.”

Delegate Rob Bell, Charlottesville

“George Allen is a strong conservative leader and I am proud to give him my full support.  As Governor, his pro-growth policies helped clear the path for hundreds of thousands of new jobs and made Virginia one of the best places in the country to do business.  In these difficult times, we need someone with a solid track record of success and a clear vision for the future.  George Allen knows what it takes to reinvigorate the economy and he has the plan of action for jobs, competitiveness and opportunity to do it.”
