+óGé¼+ôJim Webb believes that the current leadership in Washington has failed the American people and all of those around the world who count on our leadership,+óGé¼-¥ said McEachin. +óGé¼+ôHe believes it is the responsibility, the moral of obligation of anyone in leadership to stand up to failed corrupt policies, not sanction them like George Allen does.+óGé¼-¥
McEachin was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1996. He is a lifetime member of the NAACP, the Virginia State Bar and the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association. He represents Charles City, Henrico, and Prince George Counties and the cities of Hopewell and Richmond. In 2001, he won the Democratic Nomination for Attorney General of Virginia.
+óGé¼+ôAbove all other things, Donald McEachin knows what it means to lead,+óGé¼-¥ said Webb. +óGé¼+ôHe is among the brightest and most respected elected officials in Virginia, and I+óGé¼Gäóm thankful for his support.+óGé¼-¥
Jim Webb is a decorated Marine, former Secretary of the Navy and Assistant Secretary of Defense, an award-winning author and widely respected journalist. Webb was awarded, among other decorations, the Navy Cross and Silver Star for valor as a Marine.
