LTE: Supporting Joe May in Three-Way Race for 33rd Senate District

Dear editor: 

Our state needs thoughtful and effective leaders who will put Virginia first, before politics and social issues. Many politicians do not have the courage to lead effectively on today’s toughest issues, because of partisan party politics.

Throughout his time in public service, Delegate Joe May has consistently put results, and what is best for Virginia, above party politics – particularly in the areas of transportation and education. He voted for the 2005 education funding legislation, and also for the 2013 transportation funding legislation – both of which help bring Virginia up to standards in these areas, which are critical to Virginia’s expanding role as an economic and technological leader.

At this critical time, with the Senate split evenly between parties, and with a new administration taking office, Virginia cannot afford Washington’s partisan politics. More than ever, Virginia needs leaders whose focus is not politics, but business. Joe May is guided by principles, and is not consumed by political ideologies. Joe has an established reputation for seeking out innovative solutions to improve the lives of Virginians. Just as important, Joe is looked up to as a leader who transcends politics and commands respect across the aisle. 

I will be voting for May and the kind of leadership that he brings in the Special Election for State Senate. Small voter turnout ensures that every vote is important – so please lend your support to Joe May, and vote for him on Tuesday January 21.
