I have paid attention to local politics for decades. I believe it's our duty to be informed and to vote. I am impressed with Richard Stuart, candidate for the Virginia Senate, 28th District.
He seems to understand our region's traffic problems. Having read his transportation plan, I have confidence that he'll do something about our congestion.
He has the background of experience as a former Marine as well as serving as commonwealth's attorney. He is used to getting the job done. I think we can all agree that's what Stafford needs--someone who will not back down, someone who won't play politics but simply roll up his sleeves and face the problem head on.
I urge readers to vote for leadership in November; vote for Richard Stuart.
