Today, the Arlington Coalition of Police Union and elected officials from across the Commonwealth announced their support for gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, citing his plan to create jobs and his engagement with local leaders and elected officials throughout the campaign.
"Our police officers and other front-line public servants are feeling the strain of this recession," said Union President Ken Dennis. "We need a governor who is not only going to work to improve our economy here in Virginia, but who will partner with local police and government officials to tailor our path forward to the needs of individual local communities. Terry has not only demonstrated that he will be our partner in the governor's office, but that he will take seriously our input and ideas, and in doing so, will improve all of Virginia's communities."
"When I met Terry McAuliffe, I was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the challenges facing Virginia's cities and towns," added Albemarle County School Board Member Ron Price. "He is eager to engage, listen and collaborate with community leaders from every corner of the Commonwealth, and he shows the same passion for the problems faced by residents of Arlington as he does for those of Richmond, Hampton Roads, or Southwest Virginia. I saw immediately that Terry sincerely cares about what Virginians are going through. He wants to get into office to help the people he cares about. I believe that Terry is a leader that will be embraced all across Virginia."
