SENATOR MARK WARNER HOLDS FUNDRAISER FOR 93RD HOUSE DISTRICT CANDIDATE ROBIN ABBOTT

WILLIAMSBURG, VA – On Saturday, June 20th Senator Mark Warner made a trip down to Williamsburg to support Robin Abbott’s candidacy for the house of delegates, stumping at a fundraiser that drew an enthusiastic crowd of local supporters and residents.

Monday, June 23rd, 2009

Contact: Josh Sabato 757.930.3660
At the event, Sen. Warner commented that “Robin’s personal story is one that reflects her ability to overcome obstacles and get things done… The terrific work she has done in helping working families and service men and women of this community as an attorney makes her the kind of individual we’ve been waiting for to represent the 93rd district up in Richmond.”  

 

Over 70 supporters packed The Corner Pocket restaurant to listen to Sen. Warner’s comments about the upcoming November elections for the House of Delegates and to get a better understanding of Abbott’s vision for the 93rd district. Many in attendance expressed concerns over the lack of progress that has been made by the current leadership in the House of Delegates on a variety of key issues. When asked what issues were of particular importance to Abbott by an attendee she replied, “As your Delegate, I will be a new voice for everyone in the 93rd District not just a select few, as has been the case over the last two decades. If elected I will fight to bring and keep good paying jobs to the region, fight for affordable, accessible healthcare for all Virginians, and a quality public education for our children.” 

 

When asked about why she decided to run now, Robin stated that “Although he may have gone in with the best intentions, I believe this district has been underserved by my opponent for far too long. In 2008 the people of this district overwhelmingly voted to take this commonwealth and nation in a new direction, and if we as Virginians are to move forward with the rest of the country on that course, I believe we need new democratic leadership in Richmond. I am ready to be that new leader.”
