A strong endorsement by Mark Warner of Phil Forgit for Congress. Who's endorsing Rob Wittman, Jim Gilmore? Dick Cheney? Some smarmy Washington lobbyist? Heh.
On December 11, voters in the First Congressional District will be asked to fill the seat of the late Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis. Philip Forgit is the the best person to fill that job."Philip is an exciting candidate for the U.S. House. He is a nationally recognized school teacher who, as a member of the Navy Reserve, was
called to duty in 2005 to serve in Iraq. While he was there, he helped train Iraqi intelligence officers and was honored with a Bronze Star for meritorious service."Now, he's ready to bring change to Washington, and his first focus will be to bring fresh perspective to the Iraq War. Philip recognizes that we need a new approach - one that requires a new plan to bring this mismanaged war to an end. And Philip Forgit will bring his own on-the-ground experience in Iraq to this critically important dialogue in Congress.
"Like many of you, Philip is sick of the bickering that too often cripples Washington. As a teacher and as a soldier, Philip Forgit has the right background to bring common sense to our government."
A worthwhile story would be Republicans endorsing Forgit, or Warner endorsing Wittman.
