John Brownlee: class act urges support for Cuccinelli
Having spoken with John Brownlee personally, I’m completely unsurprised by his tone and the class he displays in the e-mail sent to his supporters today wherein he urges support for Ken Cuccinelli. From that letter:
Dear Republican Friends:
Well, the Convention is over, the votes have been counted, and we came up a little short. Although the actual result will not be officially released (Dave Foster and I asked that Ken Cuccinelli’s nomination be made unanimous), we understand our campaign mustered approximately 42% of the vote in the 3-way race. For that, I greatly appreciate all who attended and supported our campaign.
As I said at the conclusion of the Convention, I endorse Ken Cuccinelli, I support him, and I will do whatever I can to ensure that Ken is elected the 45th Attorney General of Virginia. Steve Shannon, who served in the House of Delegates and as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in Fairfax, will be a formidable opponent, and we all need to work hard to help Ken get elected. I told Ken on Saturday that I would help him prepare for the upcoming debates and would participate in strategy meetings if requested. We have held the Attorney General’s office for the last 16 years, and turning the office over to the Democrats would be disastrous.
To see the entire letter (and to avoid having me re-post what’s already out there) please follow this link to Virginia Virtucon.
Brownlee understands the need to get behind the candidates on our ticket and the need to urge his supporters – all of us – to join with him in the effort. Take it to heart, folks.
