Statement of Bob McDonnell on the Election of Dave Marsden to the Virginia State Senate

RICHMOND- Virginia Governor-elect Bob McDonnell issued the following statement tonight regarding the election of Delegate Dave Marsden to the Virginia State Senate:

“I want to congratulate Delegate Dave Marsden on his victory tonight. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the years ahead in his new capacity.  In these tough economic times, Virginians need leaders in Richmond who will work together to create new jobs and more opportunities.  While we may not agree on every issue, I know that Dave and I share a commitment to making this a better Virginia for all our citizens.

I also want to thank, and congratulate, Steve Hunt for the positive, idea-driven campaign he ran. Steve is a longtime advocate for the citizens of Fairfax County and I know he will continue to play an important role in the public life of Northern Virginia for years to come.”
