JENNIFER BOYSKO AND HERB KEMP FOR 86TH DISTRICT DELEGATE TO RICHMOND

TWO progressive, committed Democrats are running for delegate from the 86th district. Jennifer Boysko http://www.jenniferboysko.com/ and Herb Kemp http://www.herbkempfordelegate.com/index.php  are both well qualified to represent us in Richmond. Both are friends of mine. One will win the 11 JUN 13 Democratic primary. I will have no problem supporting whoever wins the primary in June. Click the links to check out their campaigns, I hope you will become involved and support the candidate who best represents your views and opinions, and that you too will support the winner of the primary. Bottom line is the 86th district deserves more than just a nice delegate in the House. We deserve a delegate who will actively promote an agenda that is beneficial not only for the 86th district but one that benefits the entire Commonwealth. While we have problems and issue that need to be addressed here in northern Virginia, we are part of a state, and so our delegate should represent our interest in conjunction with the best interest of the entire state. Education (school construction, teacher and staff pay, Head Start), transportation (mass transit as well as roads, high speed rail, impact fees), the environment (the Bay, fracking, uranium mining, coal, renewable energy, off shore drilling) taxes (corporate, tax subsidies, personal, sales, tobacco and gas), civil liberties (voting rights, academic freedom, sexual orientation), civil rights, the social safety net (compliance with ACA,  administration of SNAP, unemployment, job retraining, housing assistance), immigration, public safety (police, firefighters, gun regulations) and ending the Commonwealth's war on women (choice, birth control) are all issues our delegate in Richmond should lead in addressing and not wait for the party to determine their position for them (the situation we have with our current representative). I look forward to the two candidates positions on these issues.
