Nice endorsement for Phil Forgit from Senator-elect Ralph Northam."I am proud to support Philip Forgit for Congress because he has shown throughout his life a true commitment to serving his community," said Dr. Northam. "As father and a pediatric neurologist, I support Philip because of his experience teaching in our schools. I know he understands what our children and our teachers need to succeed in the classroom."As a veteran who treated soldiers during Desert Storm, I support Philip because I know that he understands the problems we are facing in Iraq and knows what our veterans need when they come home," Dr. Northam continued. "We would all benefit by sending an honest public servant like Philip to Washington to represent our values."
Forgit thanked the crowd for their support and noted that recent polling showed this to be a highly competitive race. "I have served in Iraq and so I don't need military tutors-like my opponent has used-to tell me how to get the job done," said Forgit. "This is a real war and we need real leadership in Washington."

Meanwhile Rob Wittman has been a bureaucrat and politician for 22 years - he's the kind of guy who never takes a strong position on anything because all he cares about is his election to higher office.
Have we come to that point in campaigns? Where it's better to be a coward than run the risk of making a mistake?
