Bristol Herald Courier Endorses Bolling for Lieutenant Governor

Cites Bolling's roots in Southwest Virginia and "clear understanding of rural challenges"

 

RICHMOND - Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling today was endorsed by the Bristol Herald Courier.

The Bristol Herald Courier becomes the most recent paper to endorse Bolling's campaign for re-election, joining the Waynesboro News Virginian, Culpeper Star-Exponent, Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, News & Messenger and Arlington Sun-Gazette.

The paper highlights Bolling's roots in Southwest Virginia, his understanding of rural challenges and his record of bipartisan accomplishment:

"Republican Bill Bolling has roots in Virginia's coalfields and a clear understanding of its rural challenges.

And in the four years he has already served as its lieutenant governor, he has worked to increase the governor's opportunity fund - a key tool for recruiting businesses to Southside and Southwest Virginia.

We've been most impressed by his 100 Ideas for the Future of Virginia tour. . . He's already proven, as lieutenant governor under Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine, that he is not a partisan. He has shown he can work cooperatively with people across Virginia and across party lines."
