On Tuesday, I was honored by the voters in my community to continue my service as their representative to the Virginia House of Delegates. This will send me to Richmond for year #17 and 18. And, upon my arrival, I will be one of the most Senior Members of the newly energized Republican Caucus. We have seven new seats. But most importantly, we have added four new members of the Northern Va Republican Caucus. This will help immensely in getting NOVA the schools and roads we need.
To the voters, I am honored to have received your vote. To all the people who contributed and volunteered on my campaign, I am honored to receive your support. We ran a near perfect campaign. (I say "near" because nothing is perfect.) By running on what we are going to accomplish, and pointing out my commitment to the community where I grew up, live, and work, we received 56.57% of the votes. And to describe to you how good this is, we out-performed Bob McDonnell by 7%. Thus showing that not only the voters who consider themselves Republican voted for "Dave Albo", but also the independents.
But elections are really about getting things done for our community, and I am already hard at work developing my legislative agenda for the 2010 Session (the 391st Session of the Virginia General Assembly / House of Burgesses.) So if you have any ideas you would like to share with me, I am happy to listen! After all, that's what this job is all about!
Yours for Good Government,
Dave Albo
