Virginian Pilot Endorses McWaters, Recognizes "Conservative Bona Fides"
Virginia Beach, VA - December 1, 2009 -- The Virginian Pilot editorial board has endorsed Jeff McWaters campaign for State Senate in the Republican Primary to be held this Saturday, December 5th. Polls are only open from 10am-3pm.
From the Pilot:
"As the retired chief executive of Amerigroup, which employs 1,700 in
Virginia Beach, McWaters knows how to recruit businesses and rein in spending -
two of his three priorities. He comes across as pragmatic and thoughtful about
lawmaking while leaving no doubt about his conservative bona fides. As a
regional coordinator for Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell who works closely with Lt.
Gov. Bill Bolling, McWaters has the ear of the state's top leaders."
"He's a perceptive leader who knows how to ask the right questions and has the confidence to reach his own conclusions on tough issues."
