Bell had Previously Endorsed Creigh Deeds

Bell: “Bob McDonnell has impressed me with his campaign, and his determined focus on rolling out specific policy proposals for Virginia’s future.”

SALEM-Former State Senator Brandon Bell, who had endorsed Creigh Deeds earlier in the general election, announced today that he is now backing Bob McDonnell for governor. Bell pointed to McDonnell’s innovative proposals to create jobs and get Virginia’s economy back on track as specific reasonsfor the endorsement.
       
Bell noted, “I’ve watched this campaign unfold since both candidates secured their respective nominations. In the four months since that time Bob McDonnell has impressed me with his campaign, and his determined focus on rolling out specific policy proposals for Virginia’s future. His plans to encourage job creation, reform our schools, maximize our energy resources and create new opportunities for Virginians are exactly what we need. Furthermore I am increasingly concerned about the dramatic expansion of the federal government and the impact of that expansion on our everyday lives.  I am confident that as our next governor, Bob will stand up for Virginia against any federal policies that may have a negative impact on the Commonwealth and our citizens. His campaign demonstrates his capacity for leadership, and his commitment to Virginia’s future. I strongly endorse Bob McDonnell for governor, and look forward to working with him in the years ahead as he continues to serve the people of Virginia.”
